Civil struggles of young girls with the compulsory hijab

Also in September 2019, Mehdi Nasiri, the former editor-in-chief of Kayhan newspaper, announced on the Four TV channel of the Republic that “according to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, 70% of society is against the requirement of hijab.” He also added that the number of those who wear hijab decreases every year by about 5%, and the results of the latest survey conducted by the Ministry of Guidance show that even in religious cities like Qom, most people are against compulsory hijab. Nasiri also announced that the authorities of the Islamic Republic have stopped its publication because they do not consider the results of polls regarding the hijab to be favorable.
