Pressures and discrimination against women in Iran’s southern provinces has been expanding at a significant rate. In this regard, Tahere Eidizadeh, a university professor, has said women in Khuzestan Province (southwestern Iran) are not permitted to enter political and social activities.
They are considered as second-class citizens by their tribes, this professor said, adding in many cases women also become victims of so-called ‘honor’ killings.

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.
