Iran's President, Ebrahim Raisi, has vowed to enforce the country's mandatory dress code, including the hijab, as a growing number of Iranian women defy the head coverings. Raisi made the statement almost a year after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody after breaking hijab rules and sparking major protests. The Iranian president referred to some women as "ignorant" and claimed that a small number had been "trained by foreigners" to undermine the government. Iranian authorities have taken a stricter approach, increasing surveillance and prosecuting those who encourage women to remove the hijab.
