Majid Ghomi, head of the Iran MS Association, described the increasing number of MS patients in Iran as concerning.
“According to recent statistics, the number of women suffering from MS is three times that of men,” he added.
MS patients are suffering from psychological and spiritual problems, he said, adding the high cost of medical care adds to their problems.

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.
