Iranian Women Celebrate Khamenei's Death: End of 'Gender Apartheid' and Decades of Oppression

• Iranian women and diaspora celebrated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death, viewing his 36-year rule as a 'dark chapter' of systemic oppression.
• Khamenei rejected 'sexual equality,' defining women's primary roles as motherhood and homemaking, and requiring a husband for security.
• His regime enforced mandatory hijab, leading to Mahsa Amini's death and the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement, and introduced draconian laws.
• Laws solidified gender inequality: girls marrying at 9, women needing husband's permission for travel, polygamy, and unequal rights.
• Khamenei oversaw violent crackdowns on dissent, with thousands killed and arrested, leading to UN findings of 'crimes against humanity'.
