A young woman was attacked with acid in the evening of April 4, 2016, in Tehran’s Gol-ha Street. Neighbors who heard her screams took her to hospital to find out that her face and part of arms had been burnt in an acid attack.
Initial investigations showed that the male assailant had approached the victim on a motorbike and dashed away immediately after the attack, just like the organized acid attacks the October 2014 organized acid attacks against women in Isfahan.

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.
