Sex segregation in Iran  Sex segregation in Iran encompasses practices derived from the conservative dogma of Shiite Islam currently taking place in Iran. Most areas of the country are segregated by sex, except universities. In many cities, there are women parks, just for females. Reza Shah was against sex-segregation and he ordered Tehran University to enroll its first woman in 1936. Reza Shah forcibly unveiled women and promoted their education in the model of Turkey's Atatürk. When Ruhollah Khomeini called for women to attend public demonstration and ignore the night curfew, millions of women who would otherwise not have dreamt of leaving their homes without their husbands' and fathers' permission or presence, took to the streets. Khomeini's call to rise up against Mohammad Reza Shah took away any doubt in the minds of many devoted Muslim women about the propriety of taking to the streets during the day or at night. After the Islamic revolution, however, Khomeini publicly announced his disapproval of mixing between the sexes. Khomeini favored single-sex schools in his speech at the anniversary of the birth of Fatimah bint Muhammad, saying: Sex segregation of public places such as beaches or swimming pools was ordered and legally introduced. Adult boys are not permitted to be in contact with girl except under the presence of parents. They must intend to marry and until marriage are under parent control. In bakeries across Iran, men and women must stand in separate lines when buying bread. Buses are divided in two parts. Men are required to get on and off through the front door, while the back section and back doors are intended for women. Although bus services in Iran are sex-segregated, women are required to remain fully covered while inside the bus. In other cities such as in Mashhad, males and females were prevented from traveling on the same bus. Traditionally it is not acceptable in Iran for a man to sit or stand beside a non-mahram woman in public places. There are special wagons specific to females and, according to Metro laws, entrance of men in these wagons is illegal. Also according to Islamic penal codes, if a woman has an objection against a man, this is considered as female violence and has legal punishment. After the revolution, Parliament made it compulsory for all women to observe the veil and for the first time rules prescribing the Hijab as proper attire for women were written into the law. According to the law, women’s clothing should meet the following conditions:  Correspondingly, "bad hijabi" (improper veiling”) was considered a cultural crime.
