Status
Concept

Before the 1979 revolution, Iranian women enjoyed significant freedoms, but the new government imposed strict restrictions on their lives, including their clothing choices. Women who had experienced a modern lifestyle under the Pahlavi era resisted these limitations through civil disobedience, culminating in the Woman-Life-Freedom movement. In response to women's protests, the government established Women’s Parks, which functioned as isolated spaces that superficially offered freedom but ultimately reinforced societal restrictions.
