This legislation, approved in the country\u2019s parliament, introduces the concept of \u201chuman tunnels\u201d at subway entrances, manned by armed male and female police known as \u201cguides.\u201d Women must pass through these tunnels to access or exit the subway, mandating hijab compliance. Additionally, rewards are offered to individuals who enforce hijab voluntarily or report non-compliance, with specific responsibilities delegated to the Ministry of Intelligence and Information of the IRGC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The enactment of the \u201cHijab and Chastity\u201d law appears to serve as a strategic maneuver by the Islamic regime in Iran to consolidate support amid growing societal dissatisfaction.
