From the very start of the suppressionby Khomein , after he re wrte the constitution and introduced the forced hijab law, The only practical support and mobilization was carried by the PMOI, whos ideas on Islam contradicted that of Khomein as early as 1960. They believed in Freedom as the pivotal parameter for any popular government, and refraind from voting on the Islamic constitution that invoked the emergence of religion and state. The PMOI supporters and women members were the first to support and protect demosntrations agaisnt the infringement of freedoms like the "hijab" law..some were arrested and killed for this matter...
exerts from Maryam rajavi :
Religious fascism distinguished by its misogyny and export of terrorism, threatens to destroy global achievements, including equality for women.In the past 30 years, our movement has engaged in an all-out war with a religious fascism, which is based on gender apartheid. Although fundamentally reactionary and backwards, this monster employs the most modern technologies to suppress, control, intimidate, and terrorize people, essentially by exploiting religion. Such exploitation characterizes it as a new phenomenon in history.In the past 30 years, our movement has engaged in an all-out war with a religious fascism, which is based on gender apartheid.

Confronting this source of darkness and evil would have been an impossible undertaking, unless the essential building blocks of the resistance movement against it sheltered the most fundamental human values: Equality, liberty, freedom of choice and democracy.
Khomeini and the clique of mullahs supporting him deluded the Iranian people and usurped the leadership of the 1979 revolution with slogans and claims about Islam. Since the first day of their rule, they began to suppress the population, especially women, because they were terrified of freedom and democracy. Their intention was to erect a theocratic empire under the banner of Islam through the export of terrorism and war.
However, owing to the presence of a popular and organized opposition, which defended a tolerant and democratic Islam, the mullahs were quickly isolated. Now, more than ninety percent of the Iranian people are demanding regime change. The mullahs' brutal suppression of the people and their current efforts to build nuclear weapons and dominate Iraq, far from being from a position of strength, are therefore designed to forestall the overthrow of a regime, which has reached the end of the line.
From the outset, the religious fundamentalists' voracious single-mindedness could not tolerate a drop of ideological diversity, let alone the thought of a democratic Islam, the antithesis to fundamentalism, represented by the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), the main component of the resistance to the regime.
Meanwhile, Mojahedin women took on an impressive role in confronting the mullahs since the very first days of the mullahs' rule. Although they wore scarves themselves, Mojahedin women bravely withstood the repugnant mantra of "either the veil or a hit on the head."
For a regime which ruled under the name of Islam, it was extremely difficult to tolerate that the Muslim Mojahedin, especially women and girls in their ranks, would be at the forefront of the opposition.
Mojahedin women paid a heavy price in the face-off with the mullahs. Tens of thousands of them endured dreadful imprisonment, horrific tortures and were executed.
Nonetheless, the struggle continued.
