The average age of female heads of households has decreased to 35, announced Fahimeh Piroozfar, director of the empowerment staff of the female heads of households in Tehran’s Municipality.
She said, “When we started our work, the average age of female heads of households was 50, but it has not dropped to between 35 and 40.” She said among the reasons for such decrease is increase in the rate of divorce among the families in Tehran.

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.
