In Iran, some women have been posting videos and photos of themselves in public without the hijab. They're protesting against the mandatory wearing of the headscarf.

In Iran, the law requires women to wear what they call modest "Islamic" clothing. In practice, this means women must wear a chador, a full-body cloak, or a headscarf and a manteau (overcoat) that covers their arms.
