flag Iran now allows women to get motorcycle licenses after years of ambiguity, following protests and government approval.

flag Iran has officially allowed women to obtain motorcycle licences, ending years of legal ambiguity that previously blocked them from receiving permits despite no explicit ban. flag The change, approved by the cabinet in January and signed by First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref, mandates traffic police to issue licences to female applicants after training and exams. flag The move follows widespread protests over women's rights, including those sparked by Mahsa Amini’s 2022 death, and reflects growing pressure for greater mobility rights, though broader restrictions on women’s freedoms remain.
