This protest highlights growing unrest among working women in Iran, who face significant challenges in various industries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, in <strong>Shiraz<\/strong>, in <strong>Southern Iran<\/strong>, nurses from Namazi Hospital continued their strikes, repeating their calls for better wages and improved working conditions.

Their statement emphasized that the only way to escape the current crisis is through collective resistance. &#8220;The path to salvation lies in organized, collective struggle and our resistance,&#8221; the statement declared, urging citizens across cities and neighborhoods to continue organizing in defiance of the government\u2019s suppression tactics.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">November 9\u2014Shiraz, southern Iran<br \/>Nurses of Namazi hospital continue strikes and protests, reiterating their demands for higher wages and better working conditions.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/r3tNLNaxhu\">pic.twitter.com\/r3tNLNaxhu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1855195511373873597?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 9, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The statement advocates for continued &#8220;general strikes,&#8221; describing them as &#8220;not only a response to oppression but a vital strategy to counter the war machine and repressive apparatus of the Islamic Republic.&#8221; It calls on international supporters, including &#8220;freedom-loving Iranians abroad&#8221; and various global organizations, to intensify efforts for global support and a boycott of the &#8220;gender-apartheid and war-mongering&#8221; regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <strong>southern Iran\u2019s Pars South Gas Complex<\/strong>, refinery workers, whose protests began in early August, continue to strike, demanding fair wage practices and the enforcement of labor classifications in accordance with prior agreements with the Ministry of Oil.
