Iranian women can now legally ride motorcycles.

Iranian women can now legally obtain motorcycle licenses after years of legal ambiguity. A new law, signed by the First Vice President, clarifies the traffic code, requiring police to provide training, conduct exams, and issue licenses to women. Previously, authorities unofficially denied licenses to women, creating legal issues in accident cases. This change follows widespread protests initially driven by economic concerns that evolved into anti-government demonstrations. Since the 1979 revolution, Iranian women have faced various social restrictions.
