\"FileNCRI – Some 200 laid off textile workers in city of Ahvaz gathered in protest in front of city\u2019s labor department to protest lack of unemployment insurance, according to reports from inside Iran,<\/p>\n

Workers at the city’s First District municipality gathered outside the city’s municipality to protest delay in payment of their wages. Suppressive agents of State Security Forces were stationed in the area to prevent the escalation of the protest.<\/p>\n

Moreover, applicants who wanted to enter university in Tehran assembled in outside Education Assessment office. On August 14, around 100 young men and women gathered to protest allocation of quotas and gender discrimination at universities.<\/p>\n

In the past few years by orders from senior authorities, the clerical regime has initiated segregation, discrimination and setting quotas based on gender for some educational branches. Gender-based restrictions in the codes of some higher-education branches in recent years have always been a matter of protest of university applicants.<\/p>\n

In universities many courses are either only available to only male applicants or are accessible to few female applicants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
