Ah the old talk that women are oppressed in iran after the revolution. I would like to start by asking you a simple question, how many women in iran has professionalized and been given the chance to enter a university and to have education after the revolution?

Iran has many women working in scientifical development and military areas, something that was not every common before the revolution, the number is even higher than in many countries of europe. Besides iranian women have been an important voting force politically for decades now since the revolution.

Iran also has prominent women artists, currently active, and addressing womens rights, Rakhshan Bani e-temad, Manijeh hekmat, and Tahmineh Milani are very successful film directors. They have won numerous awards inside and outside iran, and have repeatedly touched on women struggles and rights in their movies. Newsha Tavakolian, is a top photographer with international acclaim with fantastic perspectives on women. Farideh Lashais paintings are in huge demand after her passing, just as an example of successful women artists. Many other painters are super successful, and travel around the globe showing their work and are being collected by famous museums. And in the traditional literature Forough Farrokhzads poems, of immense historical and intellectual significance and with many excerpts alluding to womans love are published and endorsed. Not just by people, but by religious and powerful people too. You cannot point out 10 female saudi women of the same prominence, no chance.

It is your choice to live in this false propagandist logic that women in iran live oppressed under a “tyrannical religious man rule” instead of seeing the reality that iran is one of the most prosperous country for women.
