[IRANIAN COMMUNISTS IN SWEDISH DIASPORA / ISLAMIC VEIL / CHILDREN’S RIGHTS] In defence of prohibition of Islamic veil for children

WORKER COMMUNIST PARTY OF IRAN.

Worker-Communist Party of Iran - Swedish Committee, [Stockholm], June 1997.

Original stapled wrappers. Demy 8vo. (21 x 15 cm). In English. 17, [1] p. A very good copy.

A politically significant pamphlet advocating the legal prohibition of the Islamic veil for children, arguing from a children's rights perspective that religious impositions on minors constitute coercion. The work references Reza Shah Pahlavi's kashf-e hijab decree of 1936 and situates its argument within the historical context of state interventions in dress codes in Iran. The publication centres on the controversy known as the Hijab-gate of Rah-e Kargar, reflecting tensions within Iranian leftist and secular circles over secularism, cultural rights, and the protection of children.
