Challenges of Iranian Women’s Movement

Why

Women have historically been subjected to systematic discrimination based on their gender. Some of this discrimination has been based on cultural stereotypes that cast women primarily in the roles of wives and mothers

Education

In the patriarchal (male-dominated) societies around the world, women have been viewed as the “weaker sex,” who needed protection from the rough-and-tumble world outside of their homes. Such beliefs were used as justifications for preventing women from voting and holding public office. We believe all women have the right to a fair education.

Domestic relations

In the cultures that portrayed wives as appendages of their husbands, women had often been invisible to the law.
The ability of women to use the law to fight gender discrimination in employment, education, domestic relations, and other spheres is a recent development across the world. We can help with providing legal advice in areas of family law.

Support

As modern society has made clear, women have the ability to perform with equal skills and succeed in every endeavor engaged in by men — including employment, athletics, academics and politics. Yet discrimination on the basis of gender has a long history across the world and even here in the US, and its residual effects still operate to keep women’s salaries lower and the opportunities fewer in the employment realm.

What Others Have To Say About Gender Equality

Iren McKenzie

With the inclusion of women in the workforce and an increasing number of women-owned companies, there has been a lot of progress made towards achieving gender equality.

Anna Fox

In the past, gender roles were very clear-cut. Men were supposed to be strong, while women were supposed to be delicate, kind, and nurturing. However, as society changes so does the gender roles that are expected of people based on their sex.

Natalya Fowler

The gender pay gap is a result of the different types of work done by men and women. Women tend to be more involved in lower-paid jobs while men are more involved in higher-paid jobs.
