Women's Rights in Iran and the Hypocrisy of the Progressive Left

"Western feminists and women’s rights organisations continuously legitimise the Iranian regime and normalise its treatment of women. When Sweden’s then trade minister, Ann Linde, who is a well known women’s rights campaigner, wore a hijab during a trade visit in Iran in 2017, it sparked outrage amongst Iranian women who saw her act of veiling as normalising the compulsory hijab law. In addition, the women's rights grassroots organisation, Code Pink, regularly travels to Iran for nothing more than photoshoots with Iranian regime officials. Such actions legitimise the Iranian regime and betray the women’s rights movement in Iran."
