A real fight for women rights in middle east
Throughout history, Iranian women have participated in national uprisings. In 2022, they are leading them, taking direct
aim at the regime’s repressive treatment of women and girls, while the Iranian government is reacting with lethal force
to attempt to end the protests. People across Iran and around the world—representing different ages, genders, income
levels, and geographies—are joining or supporting the women- and student-led movement, despite the government-sponsored
violence in response . What makes these protests different? What might we expect next? Join us for an examination of the history and
contemporary political and social conditions in Iran giving rise to current events, including the complicated role of
gender, as well as a discussion of how the situation may evolve in the coming months.
