Since the 19th century, women across the world are struggling for equality in all aspects, and there has progressed in this field. But in Iran under the mullahs\u2019 regime, women are under double pressure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Since taking power in 1979, the misogynous clerical regime started its oppressive measures against the women, by forcing them to wear the \u201chijab.\u201d The regime\u2019s affiliated thugs splashed acid on the faces of women who protested the mandatory veil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The regime has never abandoned its misogynistic rules and in fact, has increased them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On February 17, 2021, the Iranian regime hanged the lifeless body of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/iran-hrm.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/19\/iran-hangs-already-dead-woman-zahra-esmaili-lawyer-says\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Zahra Esmaili<\/a>. She had died of a heart attack upon seeing the execution of 16 men. Nevertheless, the regime hanged her lifeless body. Ms. Esmaili, a mother of two, was sentenced to death for the alleged murder of her husband, Alireza Zamani, one of the director generals of the notorious Intelligence Ministry, who had tried to sexually assault her teenage daughter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Zahara Esmaili\u2019s execution marked the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/2021\/02\/17\/execution-of-a-woman\/\" rel=\"noopener\">114th execution<\/a> of a woman since the regime\u2019s so-called \u201cmoderate\u201d President Hassan Rouhani assumed office.

This was first revealed in December 2015 by Hossein Ashtari, the commander-in-chief of the State Security Force, that \u201c26 government agencies are responsible for the issue of Hijab and Chastity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to the NCRI\u2019s study, \u201cIn September 2019, the supreme cultural council approved a document entitled \u2018Supplementary Collection.\u2019 Under the new plan, 27 state agencies are responsible for enforcing the mandatory Hijab, which includes 10 ministries. All the above said agencies and the bodies not mentioned involved in the suppression of women work in accordance with the policies of the Supreme Council for Cultural Revolution, which is chaired by the mullahs\u2019 President, Hassan Rouhani.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Some of these agencies include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Ministry of Health and Medical Education<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Ministry of Science, Research and Technology<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Ministry of Education<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Islamic Development Organization<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Bassij Organization<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Organization of Islamic Culture and Relations<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Headquarters for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Management Centre of the Islamic Seminaries of Qom<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Endowments and Charity Affairs Organization<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Management Centre of the Islamic Seminaries of Qom<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Endowments and Charity Affairs Organization<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The State Security Force<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Among all agencies, the State Security Force plays a key role in harassing Iranian women. \u201cThe State Security Force (SSF) acts as the regime\u2019s iron fist and exerts daily pressure on women. In May 2015, the State Security Force was reinforced by 7,000 plainclothes agents in Tehran alone. In November 2015, Saeed Montazer Al-Mahdi, the social deputy for the State Security Force, announced that the number of guidance patrols had increased 40 folds. In 2016, Iranian women received 64,000 warnings related to the observance of the official dress code. During the same period, more than 1,262 women were summoned to the moral security section of the police. At least 215 vehicles were confiscated and 500 individuals suspected of removing the veil were dealt with.6 In June 2016, only in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, 362 businesses were warned and 126 shops were closed for failing to observe the hijab of their mannequins in the showcases,\u201d read the NCRI Women Committee\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The full report could be found <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/2020\/07\/09\/a-network-of-27-state-agencies-suppresses-iranian-women-by-enforcing-the-mandatory-hijab\/\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">In Iran, the regime has legalized misogynous rules in the constitution<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The mullahs wrote, approved, and implemented their constitution in 1979. The introduction to the Constitution reads in part: \u201cWomen regain their crucial and invaluable duty of motherhood in raising vanguard, ideological human beings, while they, themselves, are comrades of men in active fields of \u2018life.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Thus, women were defined as mothers whose duty is to give birth to human beings who adhere to the ruling regime\u2019s ideology, not as human beings with specific social, civil, and political rights. According to the mullahs\u2019 constitution, women are considered alongside men, not equal to them in social activities, but at the service of \u201clife\u201d In this way. The Constitution also implies that the family, as the founding unit of society, must adhere to the ruling clerical regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to Article 942 of the Iranian Civil Code, men can have multiple wives, both permanent and temporary. Addressing the issue of inheritance after a man\u2019s death, the article says, \u201cIn case of multiple wives, a quarter or one-eighth of the heritage which goes to the wife will be divided equally among them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The NCRI\u2019s Women\u2019s Committee <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Misogyny-institutionalized-in-the-laws_EN-May-2020-ed.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">issued<\/a> a report on this matter in May 2020.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">These honor killings and shocking tragedies are due to he misogynistic laws of mullahs\u2019 regime.

According to official figures, nearly 870,000 women had lost their jobs by summer 2020, joining the army of the hungry. Today, 40 million people in Iran, including 28 million women, are economically inactive. That is, they have been robbed of their right to social and economic participation. The number of women heads of households, which was 3 million in 2016, is now between 4 to 5 million, and 80 percent of them are unemployed.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Women Struggle for freedom<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Despite the regime\u2019s heavy crackdown on women and its hysterical hostility towards them, Iranian women have never abandoned their struggle and are the avantgardes of the Iranian people\u2019s struggle for freedom and democracy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">During the November 2019 Iran protests which rattled the regime\u2019s foundation, footages from Iran showed women on the frontline of protests guiding the crowd.

Women must enjoy complete freedom in choosing their husbands and in marriage. Any form of compulsion against women in the family will be banned. Women\u2019s equal right to divorce will be recognized. Polygamy will be banned. Physical, sexual, or psychological violence against women in the workplace, educational centers, households, or anywhere else will be considered a crime. Any sexual exploitation of women under any pretext will be prohibited. The mullahs\u2019 Sharia laws will have no place in tomorrow\u2019s Iran.
