Iran: Young woman goes on hunger strike to protest discrimination

September 23, 2017
in Women's News

A Marivani school girl went on hunger strike to protest the announced results of the national test for university admission in Iran. Gelaveaj Arjangi, who was an honor student at the public school of Marivan, protested discrimination in student admissions to the Farhangian Beit-ol Hoda University in Sanandaj. She ranked 345 in the national test for university admission.

According to her father, people with four-digit ranks had been admitted to the Farhangian University, but Gelaveaj was denied admission despite a three-digit ranking. (The state-run Daneshjou news website ssn.ir – September 20, 2017)

ABOUT US

NCRI Women Committee

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.
