After the Iranian Revolution of 1979., in accordance with its interpretation of Islamic standards, Iran introduced a mandatory dress code for women. In September 2022, the 22-year-old Iranian kurdish woman Mahsa Amini died in a hospital in Tehran under suspicious circumstances after The Guidance Patrol, the religious morality police of Iran's government, arrested her for allegedly not wearing the hijab in accordance with government standards.
