Abbas Sheikh al-Islami, dean of Mashhad’s Azad University said, “In Iran, out of 180 cases of violence against women, 128 are closed as plaintiff withdraws their complaints. Women victimized by their husbands or families either refuse to file a complaint or withdraw their cases during the course of the process due to secondary reasons. Penal laws do not resolve the problems of Iranian women.”

We work extensively with Iranian women outside the country and maintain a permanent contact with women inside Iran. The Women’s Committee is actively involved with many women’s rights organizations and NGO’s and the Iranian diaspora.
The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women. Attending UN Human Rights Council meetings and other international or regional conferences on women’s issues and engaging in a relentless battle against the Iranian regime’s misogyny are part of the activities of members and associates of the committee.
