Iran Plans 'Rehabilitation Clinics' for Women Defying Dress Code

A controversial initiative aims to 'heal' women who refuse to wear the mandatory hijab, sparking widespread criticism.

Iranian authorities propose clinics to rehabilitate women not adhering to strict Islamic dress codes.
The initiative is led by a government body overseeing Islamic virtues, aiming to provide psychological guidance.
Critics, including the Iranian government, dismiss the plan as absurd and distance themselves from it.
Since the 2022 women's movement, more women have been rejecting the obligatory hijab despite harsh enforcement.
The movement was ignited by the death of Mahsa Amini, detained for improper hijab wear, who died in custody.
