Rebellious and resilient, Iran’s women are the force for change

Women are indeed the Force for Change.

This was vividly seen in Iran throughout the past year and of course, most conspicuously during the uprising in December and January.

Although the situation in Iran is extremely oppressive for women and they have borne the brunt of repression for the past 39 years, they are not submissive contrary to the regime’s expectation.

Gender discrimination, gender segregation, and various restrictions have made Iranian women not just rebellious but also very resilient.
