Since its outset, the Iranian people\u2019s uprising was spearheaded by women. Facing a misogynous regime, Iranian women are the most motivated driving force behind what many consider Iran\u2019s democratic revolution. But their leading role is not a spontaneous phenomenon. It is rooted in 43 years of struggle against the ruling misogyny. A testament to this fact is the role of women in the Iranian Resistance, who not only act as trailblazers of the struggle for freedom but hold senior leadership positions. Today, we conducted an exclusive interview with Ms. Sarvenaz Chitsaz, chair of the National Council of Resistance of Iran <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\">(NCRI) Women\u2019s Committee<\/a>. In this interview, Ms. Chitsaz shed light on the Iranian women\u2019s role in the current uprising and the history of women\u2019s struggle for freedom and equality.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">The world is watching that Iranian women are playing a leading role in the current protests in Iran. Can you elaborate on this? Why women? How come they are leading the protests?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We are facing a misogynous regime, which, over the past forty years, has violated the most basic rights of women, including their right to choose their attire. Therefore, women are more motivated to fight against this regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The role of women in protests is not a spontaneous phenomenon. It is rooted in the struggle of Iranian women for the past 43 years, during which tens of thousands of women have been imprisoned, tortured, and executed. The number of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/2021\/07\/28\/met-appointment-freedom-1988-massacre\/\" rel=\"noopener\">women executed<\/a> for their political beliefs in Iran, mostly for being affiliated with the MEK, is unprecedented in modern times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Their sacrifices are an inseparable part of Iran\u2019s contemporary history and are embedded in the conscience of the Iranian people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In addition, women have been playing a key role in the Iranian Resistance at all levels. 56% of the NCRI members are women. The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/\" rel=\"noopener\">NCRI President-elect<\/a> is a woman. The MEK Secretary-General is a woman and for many years, women have been leading the organization.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">What are demands of the Iranian women? Is it purely a demand for gender equality, including the right to choose their attire?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Iranian women certainly demand gender equality in all aspects, including the right to choose their attire and their social life, and more importantly,<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/press-releases\/2021\/03\/iran-women-and-girls-treated-second-class-citizens-reforms-urgently-needed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0equality in law<\/a>\u00a0in economic and political opportunities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, they know that so long as the fundamentalist regime is in power, they will not achieve their goals. Therefore, their prime objective is to overthrow this regime. Anything short of that would be a misrepresentation of the demands of the Iranian people and a gift to the mullahs\u2019 regime.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Women Are The Force For Change, 50 Years And On<br \/>Information on Iranian women\u2019s struggle agnst fundamentalism &amp;4equality; solidarity w\/ Iranian women\u2019s struggle 4freedom; brief history; facts of repression agnst women; activities of women for freedom.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3S8uSh91Uc\">https:\/\/t.co\/3S8uSh91Uc<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/J4Fn9e30kh\">pic.twitter.com\/J4Fn9e30kh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Women&#39;s Committee NCRI (@womenncri) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/womenncri\/status\/1084112984698482696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">As a Muslim woman, what is your view on the right of women to freely choose their attire?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I strongly believe in freedom of choice for women to decide about their social life, their attire, their field of study, and their careers. In my view, true democracy is to respect the views of others and to defend their rights. What the mullahs are doing is against Islam and is an insult to the true believer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dictators want to impose their views on the people. The father of the deposed Shah tried to force women to remove their scarves and the mullahs\u2019 regime tried to make wearing them compulsory. I think both are wrong. Women must be free to choose, not be told what to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In 1979, when Khomeini started to force women to wear the veil, the MEK supporters, who were Muslim and wore the headscarf, were lined up in the first rows of the demonstration <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/2022\/02\/10\/1979-revolution-iranian-women\/\" rel=\"noopener\">against compulsory veiling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We believe Iranian women must be free to choose what they believe in, what they want to wear, and how they want to live. In short, we reject compulsory veil, compulsory religion, and compulsory government.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">There are <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2022\/10\/10\/iran-protests-sarina-esmaeilzadeh-hijab\/\" rel=\"noopener\">reports<\/a> of a number of teenagers, including young girls, having been arrested or even killed. The Iranian regime has denied this. What is the truth?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We have identified at least 26 underage girls and boys who have been killed by the regime during the recent uprising. One example is the 15-year-old Asra Panahi. She was beaten to death by plainclothes agents because she had refused to participate in the propaganda ceremony for Khamenei.\u00a0 The regime falsely claimed that she had committed suicide. There are currently many juveniles in prisons around the country and the UN and international community must act immediately to compel the Iranian regime to release them.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">What is the NCRI plan for women?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The NCRI <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women.ncr-iran.org\/womens-committee-of-iran-ncri\/#:~:text=The%20NCRI%20Women's%20Committee%20believes,to%20freely%20choose%20their%20clothing.\" rel=\"noopener\">ratified the plan<\/a> 35 years ago, guaranteeing full equal rights for women in every aspect of their life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For us, women\u2019s equal rights are not limited to their attire but encompass all fundamental rights, equality before the law, and more importantly, equal participation in political leadership and equality in the economic arena.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, NCRI\u2019s President-elect has declared that all written or unwritten laws on controlling the clothing or behavior of women under the rubric of \u201cmal-veiling\u201d which have violated Iranian women\u2019s right to freedom and security, shall have no place in tomorrow\u2019s Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In particular, she has said that the mullahs\u2019 sharia law will be abolished in future Iran and all discriminatory laws will be repealed after the overthrow of the regime.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Women?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Women<\/a> provide the ultimate answer to fundamentalism.
