The new religious dictatorship decided to push women back inside their homes, made “forming families” their primary responsibility and introduced very restrict and mandatory hijab (veil) for all women, including those who were not followers of Islam.
Two weeks after the 1979 revolution, Khomeini issued a decree demanding that all family institutions (protective of women’s rights) be closed and laws protecting women be removed. A few days later, he issued another decree to nullify other laws that secured women’s social services employment.
One month into the 1979 revolution, the daily Kayhan reported of a “large crowd of thousands of women protesting against forced hijab.” But the peaceful protest was violently dispersed by Khomeini’s fundamentalist supporters.
