We all understand the importance of having laws and why they exist.The law help you and others to stay safe and make things more predictable while you still have your freedom.For example,There are rules for driving. If you don’t obey them, there would be some consequences such as fines or even if there is a police around they might asked you to pullover. I need to mention in driving if you pass a red light, most likely if there wouldn’t be any accident, you are going to pay a fine and still be respected.Nevertheless, You are free to go anywhere you want with your car as long as you obey the traffic rules.There are some countries that have more severe laws which make things harder for their people. In Iran, there are some laws that have made freedom harder.Moreover, there are some rules that are just for women to follow that make things even harder for them. Most of these rules have been made after the 1978 revolution. People in Iran aren't happy about these rules. There were protests and organizations for changing these rules after the revolution but the reaction resulted in violence and arrests. Often when Iranian people try to make a change the reaction tends to be the same. Imagine a rule that doesn't make you or others feel safe. Moreover, if you don’t obey them there would be serious consequences such as going to jail. For example, the Hijab in Iran is mandatory. Having a hijab every time you want to leave your house is not freedom. I need to mention I am not against hijab and I don’t motivate others to have hijab. I am writing about freedom and having it for what we wear.There are different definitions of hijab depending on each person and what they practice or enforce. The government says having a hijab(Government’s definition) makes you safe. I believe the hijab doesn’t protect women against sexual assaults and it is not the solution. The safety in a country does not just depend on the crime rate. People need social security too to feel safe and respected. People choosing what they wear each day is an important part of their freedom.
