Jamileh Alamolhoda, the wife of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, defended Iran's mandatory hijab laws and crackdown on protests during an interview with NPR. She argued that many Iranian women support the head coverings and that traditional feminist movements are not helpful to women who prioritize their roles as wives and mothers. Alamolhoda claimed that Iranian women who rebelled against the dress code were influenced by Western culture and advocated for a more traditional focus on family.
