Although Iran’s Volleyball Federation has made commitments to FIVB not to prevent women from attending the games,
security forces in the Tourist Island of Kish did not allow women to enter the stadium where the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour was being held.
Fifty-six teams are taking part in these games from 24 countries.
“There was an agent standing outside of the stadium saying you are not allowed inside,” a woman said.

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.
