Unemployed educated girls who set up a stall at Tehran’s Press Fair this year, attracted a lot of attention because of their rare undertaking. They resorted to sale of steam-cooked sweet beets and hot lima beans, both popular snacks among Iranians, because they could earn better money in this way.
Their sister was reportedly inside the Fair at her press stall, without much customers.

We work extensively with Iranian women outside the country and maintain a permanent contact with women inside Iran. The Women’s Committee is actively involved with many women’s rights organizations and NGO’s and the Iranian diaspora.
The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women. Attending UN Human Rights Council meetings and other international or regional conferences on women’s issues and engaging in a relentless battle against the Iranian regime’s misogyny are part of the activities of members and associates of the committee.
