Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice

The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice is a government organization in some Muslim-majority countries responsible for encouraging moral behavior and preventing actions considered contrary to Islamic principles. Its duties include educating the public about religious and ethical standards, promoting modesty, and discouraging behaviors deemed immoral. The committee often conducts inspections in public places, enforces dress codes, and addresses social conduct to uphold religious values. Its role aims to foster a society aligned with traditional Islamic morals, though perceptions of its influence and methods can vary among different communities.
