This letter refers to article ‘Breaking the false glass ceiling’ (September 28, 2022) by Sharmila Faruqi. The article explains how women are persecuted in Iran if they refuse to wear a headscarf. It is completely unethical to force someone to wear a particular type of clothing against their will. The freedom to choose what one wears is a basic human right.
The Iranian police and regime are using religion as a pretext for their crackdown on the women who are protesting. However, our religion enshrines the rights of women. Iranian women have every right to protest against their oppression.
