No East, No West is a slogan, that was formulated at the beginning of the governing of the Islamic Republic of Iran (1979). The slogan addresses the state’s rejection of the influence of both Soviet and American Powers in Iran, and its intention to establish an independent government. The current Iranian political regime has assigned sets of rules such as compulsory hijab for women corresponding to their ideology of being powerful and independent. This leads to marginalizing and violating many women’s rights in Iran.
