Preventing men from entering the special carriage for women in Tehran metro

Women-Only?

The women-only carriages on the Tehran metro differentiate it the most from Western subways, but the use of them by women is optional. Iran’s overground trains are currently unsegregated but there are plans to change that on the line between Tehran and Mashhad. It is also not the only country in which institutional segregation and discrimination, including the UAE, India and Mexico, or ubiquitous sexual harassment has caused the adoption of these policies.
