Research, Publications, and Documentations
The mullahs’ regime actively censors the institutionalized discrimination and misogyny targeting Iranian women at every level of society. They also conceal statistics on violence against women and children—a direct byproduct of the regime’s own laws.
In the face of this oppression, we work tirelessly. Powered by our vast network of journalists inside Iran and committed to rigorous, professional reporting, we document these human rights violations and acts of violence against women and children to expose them to the international community.
We continuously monitor and document human rights violations against women in Iran. We also pay special attention to the struggles of women, reflecting their voices of defiance and resistance, and highlighting their leading role in protests while acting as the echo of their steadfastness. We publish articles, pamphlets, monthly bulletins, and annual reports to provide a documented foundation for understanding and evaluating the struggle for women’s rights in Iran.
Focusing on gathering precise data, examining legal and humanitarian trends, and documenting cases of women’s rights violations, this work helps create a clearer picture of the existing realities.
Our Focus Areas Include:
- Institutionalized discrimination against women in laws and social structures.
- Laws and mechanisms restricting women’s rights, including those regarding dress code and the mandatory hijab.
- Violence against women within the context of discriminatory laws.
- Extrajudicial arrests and reports concerning the torture of female activists.
- Suppression of activists, advocates, and defenders of women’s rights and freedom of expression.
- The situation of female political prisoners.
- Inequality in access to justice and legal protections.
- Inequality in access to education, healthcare, and medical services.
- Restrictions on employment and women’s economic participation.
- Child marriage, illiteracy, and poverty among Iranian women.
- Restrictions on women’s personal and social freedoms.
- The leading role of women in protests and social movements.
