I would like to share with you an article I wrote in the Turkish forum a few months ago. Once again I realised the value of secularism, freedom and Zevism.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the black chadors gathered on the Turkish side of the Iran–Turkey border could be seen as symbols of women fleeing Iran and taking their first steps toward freedom.
Immediately after the Islamic Revolution, on April 15, 1979, the imposition of the compulsory headscarf, long black stockings, and the black chador disturbed many women. This pressure led to waves of escape from Iran.
It is said that some Iranian women, upon crossing into Turkey, would cast off their chadors just beyond the border as a way of celebrating their liberation. This act can be interpreted both as an individual protest and as a reclaiming of identity.
These events were not only about fleeing oppressive regimes and closed societies, but also a powerful expression of the hope for freedom. The chadors left behind near the border represented more than the discarding of a piece of cloth; they symbolized the rejection of an ideology and the beginning of a new life. The fact that, in those years, Turkey became a gateway for Iranian women made this symbolism all the more significant.
