Iranian women throughout history to this day been discriminated by a subject to unfair laws and bans created by society. Veiling, un-veiling and re-veiling have been ways in how women have been discriminated from their rights and resulted into being a puppet of the government.The history and the significance of veiling is that through some extent it was a way for men to show their dominance and be allowed to do whatever they want while women were told to do as say.. If women want to be independent they need to be able to gain experiences, and experiment with new ideas. From this point on when women get to a certain amount of experience they can be among other men allies, and find the cause of equality. In the movie, “The Salesman” by Farhani Asgahr helps show how fragile male masculinity is. There is misinterpretation of the wife being someone else which leads to a lot of violence throughout the film. This film also shows how Emad’s own insecurities of not being able to protect his wife enough lead him on this verge of anger
It is important for Iran to start pushing towards the right of Iranian women.In this paper I will discuss the history of Iranian women being neglected of their rights. They have been deprived of their rights in many ways such as being forbidden from public speaking, having men control them, some being forced to wear the veil, and being segregated by gender. Throughout history, veiling, unveiling and re-veiling has been a way for men to show their oppression.
