Campaigns to support women leading Iran protests 2022

As protests are sweeping across Iran, the Iranian authorities have knowingly decided to harm or kill people who took to the streets to express their anger at decades of repression and injustice. Iranian women who are at the forefront, leading and inspiring the protests are among the regime’s main targets.

At least 80 women, mostly young and including four 7 or 8-year-old girls, have been killed by the Iranian security forces since the outbreak of the new round of protests in Iran.

We campaign to muster support for the brave women of Iran in their quest for freedom and equality.

Call for Justice campaigns

Some 30,000 political prisoners were massacred in Iran in the summer of 1988. Among them were thousands of women members or supporters of the PMOI/MEK.

The Call to justice campaigns for victims of forced disappearances and arbitrary executions in Iran from 1988 to date. We convey the voice of the mothers and families of victims of the 1988 massacre, the November 2019 uprising, political prisoners and other victims of arbitrary executions. They call on the international community to prosecute the leaders of the clerical regime, who are among the perpetrators and masterminds of these massacres, and end their impunity.

Campaign to Support Iran Angels

Nurses make up one of the most oppressed women in Iran as demonstrated during the coronavirus pandemic. They are not regularly paid despite working overtime and round the clock since the outbreak of the pandemic. The clerical regime officials say more than 100,000 nurses have been infected with the virus, and 100s have died of COVID-19.

Shedding light on the situation of nurses and getting support for them is one of our major projects.

Discrimination against women is institutionalized in the regime’s laws and enforced in practice, the numerous agencies in charge of suppression of women, systematic clamp down on women with the pretext of enforcing the compulsory veil, extrajudicial arrests and torture of women who defend human, women, children, and other civil rights, conditions of political prisoners, child marriages and widespread illiteracy and destitution of Iranian women, the leading role of women in protest demonstrations, etc. are subjects of constant monitoring and study.
