For Nearly Four Decades, Competent Women of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) Have Led the Fight Against the Clerical Regime’s Misogynistic Dictatorship.
The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the largest and pivotal member organization of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the main opposition coalition to the ruling Iranian regime, was founded on September 6, 1965, by Mohammad Hanifnejad, Saeed Mohsen, and Asghar Badizadegan, with the objective of liberating the Iranian people from all forms of dictatorship.
Standing up against the clerical regime’s deeply ingrained misogyny, throughout 61 years of the organization’s continuous struggle against two tyrannies, competent women have guided the PMOI for the past 37 years. They have expertly navigated the organization through the most complex phases of its political existence. These qualified women hail from across Iran, including Azerbaijan, Tehran, Kurdistan, Gilan, Khuzestan, Semnan, and Mazandaran, and each embodies the liberating, humanistic, and fighting values within the ranks of the Resistance.
Following the election of Maryam Rajavi as the Secretary General of the PMOI in 1989, she cultivated a generation of highly qualified women who assumed full leadership of the organization starting in 1993. The Secretaries General of the PMOI helm a Central Council composed of 1,000 women members of the PMOI.
