Women's Rights in The Islamic Republic of Iran

The Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979 has had a permanent impact on the social role of modern Iranian women. Iranian women before the revolution were not thought to be equivalent to men, but in some cultural beliefs it was thought that women were not as good as men, but socially under Shah I made equal progress. Several misunderstandings and theories have been published and studied to show inequality between women and men caused by Islam. But the theory of contrast also proved that inequality has little to do with religion, but it is related to the powerful nature of the revolution.

In short, after establishment of Shari'a-based governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran, women lost a lot of rights in almost all areas of their lives. According to the Hudood Act of Islamic Republic belonging to the modern tribal society (penalties such as stone throwing) and Kisasu (retaliation, eyes before the eye), women are not considered to be actually human beings. For example, in a murder case, female Diyeh (blood money or compensation rate) is half that of men. In the case of physical injury, certain physical organs of men (eg his testicle) are more valuable than the whole body of a woman. Therefore, the women's movement in Iran is still primarily rights-oriented and is a legal system that focuses on discriminatory law against all gender, ethnic groups and religious groups other than Shi's men. Nearly all women's organizations 'legal reform requirements and attorneys' roles are better than ever

Despite the election of President Hassan Lohani of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2013, women continue to face new challenges when exercising their civil rights. According to the female news network, women face greater challenges in achieving equality and access to education and labor resources. In Iran, the president will be elected directly from citizens for a term of four years, but it is not that simple. According to Articles 114 and 115 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the president must be elected among religious and political officials. Therefore, the Constitution excludes half of Iran's population and systematically prohibits women from running for president.
