EP-196 | Struggle, Strength, and Survival: Insights on Women's Lives in Iran
In this episode of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, recorded at the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi in February 2024, two sessions are featured- "Decluttering the Discourse: Women of Iran."
The first panel features Mojgan Golchin, Head of Department at the International Educational Cooperation Centre for Political and International Studies, Iran, and Neda Raefipour, Diplomat at IPIS, Iran.
The second session includes Zohreh Nosrat Kharazmi, Professor at Tehran University, Fariba Allasvand, Professor at the Women and Family Research Institute in Iran, and Masoomeh Seif Afjehee, Head of the Department of Human Rights and Women's Studies at the Centre for Political and International Studies, Iran.
The experts delve into the women's lives in Iran, including the Mahsa Amini Hijab protests, the impacts of US sanctions on Iran, and the progress of women in post-revolutionary Iran. They also explore diplomatic relations between India and Iran, as well as cultural exchanges between the two nations.

I think the only problem Iran has after speaking to many Iranians is their religion. If the religion goes away they have a chance to prosper. These ladies talk about women freedom, one simple question, can they go out of Iran as a part of government without the hijab, I would say impossible. If they cannot get free of hijab how will they will be free on life ?

But these women while advocating for hijab on this platform never even acknowledged Mehsa Amini and her fight, showing their hypocrisy and inhumane approach. Seems like a state mouthpiece, not to forget the anchor dared not question about Mehsa Amini.

What a waste of an opportunity. These women are a privileged few who have the backing of the current regime. They could have used this opportunity to really help the women of Iran - instead they threw them under the bus. If this is how they treat their own - one can imagine how the rest of us will be treated if we unfortunately end up crossing their path! What a tragically shameful podcast!
such women are dangerous. Promoting the idea that hijab is voluntary and a great thing.
Very touched by the statement given about a child who was seeking his legs My heart pours for the child World leaders should sit across and stop critiquing each other and try and work hard to bring the humanity to lead peaceful life
The comments section is proof that people nowadays are more informed and able to separate truth from propoganda. The body language and choice of words of women are a clear indication that their strings are being pulled by Iranian govt and they have a threat to their life, careers and family in case they digress and criticize the regime.

Their original zoroastrian culture only survives in india, their current culture is arabic.
Many of the sanctions are specific to named individuals, not just company/industry/item/material specific. One way to sidestep the individual-specific sanctions is for the individual to transfer the business to his wife's name. The two guests were promoting those business interests by pretending they are all about 'wmn's rights. Beware, plenty of opposite interests are wrapped & disguised in the emotionally appealing packaging of "wmn's rights".
The speakers are pushing Iranian Govt propaganda. They have no other option of course. Women in the Shah ruled Iran were very advanced and had very good rights. The Islamic regime changed everything
Lots of comments here are critical, saying that the wmn of Iran are not free but are oppressed whilst these ladies are propaganda sending the opposite message. I don't doubt that these wmn have the freedom they claim to have, but that doesn't negate the issues of other wmn. Here is a classic example of 'elite' wmn establishing their status over other wmn by declaring them as choosing to feel oppressed when in fact they are not. These are effectively two different constituencies. Would you be surprised if the ruling elite of PaxTan made the same claims about freedom (of minority) in PaxTan? It's a myth to believe that wmn stand up for wmn, have only goodwill & good intentions for other wmn, solidarity with other wmn, etc etc.
