Two young women were acid-attacked in Semnan on February 27. The young women were training as hairdressers when a man broke into their work place for robbery.
As the young women resisted and confronted the robber, he splashed acid on them and escaped.
No one has been arrested or prosecuted for the extensive acid attacks against women in Isfahan and other cities in 2014.

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.
