آيا می شود نسبت به 17 دی بی تفاوت بود؟www.shokoohmirzadegi.com

شکوه ميرزادگی

در مورد هفده دی و بزرگداشت آن سال هاست که بين مردمان ما اختلاف نظر وجود دارد. اين اختلاف نظرها تقريباً ، از پس جنگ دوم جهانی و رفتن رضاشاه از ايران تا کنون وجود داشته است. البته، در دوران محمد رضا شاه، هميشه هفده دی از سوی دولت به عنوان روز زن در ايران به رسميت شناخته می شد اما، چه در زمان محمد رضاشاه و چه پس از آن، واکنش تقريبا همه ی آن ها که با حکومت سلطنت مخالف بوده اند واکنشی منفی بوده است؛به صورت های مختلف. گروهی گفته اند که رضا شاه «کشف حجاب» را به زور و جبر بر زن ها ايران تحميل کرده است، گروهی آن را به دليل اين که هديه ای از جانب حکومت سلطنتی بود مردود شناخته اند و گروهی نيز به راحتی آن را نديده گرفته و هيچ حرف و سخنی درباره آن به ميان نياورده اند

در اين ميان، و ظاهرا به صورتی بديهی، طرفداران سلطنت هم، چه در زمان محمد رضا شاه و چه پس از آن، روز هفدهم دی را صرفا روزی دانسته اند که تعلق به سلطنت طلبان دارد ـ درست همانگونه که بسياری روز هشتم مارس، روز جهانی زن، را متعلق به چپ ها می دانند و به همين دليل هم هست که برخی آن را رد می کنند و يا آن را نديده می گيرند. من تا به حال کسی را نديده ام که بدون چسباندن روز 17 دی به طرفداران سلطنت ، لااقل محتوای اين روز را متعلق به زن ها، به طور اعم، و زن ها ايرانی به طور اخص، بدانند. و اصولا نديده ام که کسانی ارزش های احتمالی اين روز را، بدون توجه به مسايل سياسی، بررسی و تحليل کنند.در راستای کوششی از اين دست، هم در ارتباط با اين روز و هم در ربط با مساله زن، لازم می دانم ابتدا درباره ی وضعيت زن ايرانی، قبل از به سلطنت رسيدن رضاشاه و قبل از اقدامات او توضيح مختصری بدهم.تاريخ ما، تاريخ ايرانزمين، همچون تاريخ ملل ديگر، سرشار از اعتراض ها، حرکت ها و گاهی جنبش هايي است که زن ها برای رهايي خويش از چنبره ی بی عدالتی جوامع مردسالار داشته اند. از اين نظر، بين وضعيت آن ها و وضعيت بردگان شباهتی آشکار وجود دارد. و اين حرکت ها گاه وسيع و موثر بوده اند و گاه اندک و بی اثر. اريخ ايران باستان سرشار از نشانه های حضور فعال زن ها در زندگی اجتماعی است. اين نکته را تاريخ نويسان در دوران ما به تدريج کشف می کنند (به خصوص پس از خواندن لوحه های هخامنشی نگهداری شده در دانشگاه شيکاگو که شرح وضعيت زندگی رومره و زندگی اجتماعی در آن ها وجود دارد)، و نگاه دوباره ای به شاهنامه (به عنوان نمايشی از وضعيت ايران باستان)، اثرات وجودی اين زن ها را در دوران های مختلف ايران قبل از اسلام را در مقابل ديد ما می نشاند.پس از آمدن اسلام به ايران نيز، عليرغم حضور بی امان مهاجمان مردسالار، و وارد آمد فشار قوانين آن ها بر گرده ی زن ها، باز می بينيم که مثلا زنی همچون «مهستی» در تاريخ ادبيات ما پيدا می شود که، علاوه بر داشتن حضوری فعال در صحنه های اجتماعی، با زبان شعر نيز به توضيح وضعيت بد زنان عصر خودش می پردازد، اقتدار شوهران را بر زنان رد می کند، حق انتخاب همسر را برای زنان نيز به رسميت می شناسد، ازدواج دختران جوان با مردان پير را با طنزی برنده به انتقاد می گيرد و، تا مرحله ی طرد شدن از شهر و ديار خود، پيش می رود و حرفش را ـ حداقل در ارتباط با خودش ـ به کرسی می نشاند. و يا زنی چون «نجمه منجمه» مقابل شخصيتی چون نظامی می ايستد و با دانش و منطق خويش او را وادار به دوستی و تحسين خود می کند. و صدها زن ديگری که نامشان در لابلای گرد و غبار تاريخ گم شده بود و تنها اکنون رفته رفته چهره شان روشن می شود.نزديکترهاشان به ما زن هايي هستند چون طاهره قره العين، که آنقدر قدرت نشان می دهد که در قوانين مذهبی دست می برد و، به عنوان شخصيتی مذهبی، چادر از سر برمی دارد و حجاب را که ـ رکنی اساسی در مذهب مسلمانان است ـ از مذهب حذف می کند. يا زن های ديگری چون تاج السلطان، بی بی خانم استرآبادی، جهانگير، صديقه دولت آبادی، صفيه يزدی، ماهرخ گوهرشناس و... ده ها زنی که زمانه ی خود را به مبارزه خوانده اند تا بتوانند به اندکی آزادی و برابری با مردها برسند. نزديک ترها به ما نيز بسيارانند که مرتب ازشان حرف و سخن هست. اما همه ی اين زن ها، چون ديگر زن های مبارز جهان، خيلی دير و خيلی سخت به عملی شدن خواسته های خود نزديک شده اند. اين راه مشکل بوده است و در اين مسير ديده شده که هر سرزمينی که توانسته زودتر مذهب را از سياست و حکومت جدا کند زودتر به تحقق اين خواسته ها نزديک شده است. و آن هايي که، چون ما، تا همين اوايل قرن بيستم، مذهب در همه ی شئونات زندگی شان دخالت داشت، بسيار ديرتر به سواد دور دست آرزوهاشان رسيده اند.شکل گرفتن جنبش مشروطه برای زن ايرانی جولانگاهی را بهمراه آورد تا او بتواند خواسته های حق طلبانه خود را صريح تر مطرح کند. در خواست های انقلاب مشروطيت خواست آزادی زنان نيز گنجانده شده بود؛ گاه به روشنی و وضوح (مثل قوانين ناظر بر حقوق عموم آحاد ملت ـ حق انتخاب مساوی و عمومی، آزادی بيان و تظاهرات، آزادی حقوق فردی ـ که می شد از درون همين قوانين حقوق زنان را نيز استخراج کرد)، و گاه در لفافه و در زبانی روشنفکرانه. ما تفريبا در اشعار و مقالات اکثر روشنفکران اين دوره مطالبی را درباره آزادی زن می يابيم. آنان نشانه های اين آزادی را در سوادآموزی و برداشتن چادر از سر زن می ديدند. در اين سال ها، يعنی در سال های آغاز و اوج جنبش مشروطيت، اين زن ها بودند که در جنبش تحريم واردات کالاهای خارجی فعالانه شرکت کردند؛ هم آنان بودند که با پوشيدن منسوجات داخلی و پوشاندن بچه هايشان با آن پيشبرد اين حرکت را ميسر ساختند؛ زن ها بودند که با جمع آوری پول، فروش جواهرات و اثاثه ی خانه که متعلق به خودشان بود، تاسيس اولين بانک ملی ايران را امکان پذير کردند؛ زن ها بودند که اتحاديه های زيرزمينی و مخفی درست کردند و برای آگاه ساختن مردمان از حقوق زنان اقدام به انتشار جزوه ها و مقالات کردند؛ و همين زن ها بودند که از نمايندگان مجلس خواستند که وقتی قادر نيستند خدمتی به مردم سرزمين شان بکنند کنار بروند تا زنها بيايند و اين کار را انجام دهند. اما زن هايي که انتظار داشتند با پيروزی انقلاب مشروطيت بتوانند فرصت ها و حقوقی مساوی با مردها به دست آورند با رفتاری خصمانه روبرو شدند. قانون انتخابات مصوب 1906 با نفوذ مردان مذهبی صراحتا زنان را از فعاليت های سياسی منع کرد و، در مقابل اعتراض گروهی از زنان که به مجلس مراجعه کرده بودند، گفته شد که زن ها تنها کارشان امور خانگی و پرورش بچه و خدمت به شوهر و حفظ آبرو و ناموس خانواده است.توجه کنيد که همه ی اين مبارزات در سال های دهه اول قرن بيستم اتفاق افتاده است و رضا شاه در سال 1925 به سلطنت رسيد. يعنی مبارزه وسيع زنان (با توجه به محدود بودن آن در طول تاريخ پس از اسلام) پيش از به قدرت رسيدن رضاشاه شروع شده بود، و سالی چند می شد که اين مبارزه جهت و خواستی روشن پيدا نموده و خواسته هايي چون حق رای، حق طلاق، حق درس خواند در دانشگاه و حق کار کردن همسان با مردان را مطرح کرده بود. اما تا تحقق اين آرزوها راهی دراز در پيش می نمود.به دستور رضا شاه، در سال 1931 دولت وقت قانون حق طلاق، ممنوع کردن ازدواج کودکان نه ساله (که به عقيده ی من به همان اندازه آزادی لباس و امکان رفتن به دانشگاه برای زن ايرانی ارزشمند بوده است) و، همراه با آن، بالا بردن سن ازدواج برای دختران (به 15 سالگی) و کودکان پسر (از 12 سالگی به 18 سالگی) را به مجلس فرستاده و به تصويب رساند. در سال 1936 قانون کشف حجاب و مجاز شدن حضور زنان در دانشگاه ها و موسسات و ادارات نيز به تصويب رسيد. به اين سان، رضاشاه، با دخالت مستقيم خويش، در واقع مهمترين خواسته های برحق و طبيعی زن ها را، که نتوانسته بودند، به دليل دخالت مستقيم روحانيون وقت، آن ها را از اولين مجلس های پس از پيروزی انقلاب مشروطيت بگيرند، به رسميت قانونی نشاند. در واقع آزادی زن ها يکی از جبرهای تاريخ است که نمی شود برای هميشه جلوی آن ايستاد. و رضاشاه اين جبر را درک کرد. حالا بگوييم که «اين درک را انگليس ها به او تفهميم کردند»، بگوييم که «آن را عده ای از اطرافيان روشنفکرش به گردنش گذاشتند»، بگوييم که «اين کارش از لج ملايان بود»، هر چه بگويند و بگوييم در اين نکته شک ندارم که هيچ يک از اين سخنان چيزی از ارزش او در ارتباط با اين اقدام تاريخی کم نمی کند. بياييد بين او و آيت الله خمينی و آيت الله ها و حجت الاسلام های کنونی مقايسه ای کنيم. بياد آوريم که در اواخر قرن بيستم ـ يعنی، قرنی که يکی از مهمترين دستاوردهای فرهنگی و اجتماعی اش تساوی حقوق زن ها است ـ چگونه آيت الله ها مقابل اين جبر تاريخی ايستادند و در اوايل قرن بيست و يکم نيز همچنان ايستاده اند و چگونه از درک ساده ترين مسايل انسانی عاجزند و چگونه دستاوردهای زن ها سرزمين مان را به تاراج می برند. آنگاه بياييد به قضاوت بنشينيم. من، مثل هر انسان عدالت طلب و آزادی خواه، طبعا رضاشاه را، برکنار از همه ی سازندگی های او، به عنوان يک ديکتاتور می شناسم، حتی روش های تحميلی او را برای برداشتن چادر از سر زن ها عملی ديکتاتوری می دانم، و تحقق نيافتن بسياری از خواسته های انقلاب مشروطيت، مثل آزادی بيان و انتخابات و احزاب را، نتيجه ی مستقيم رفتارهای نادرست او می دانم، اما، با اين همه، نمی توانم که به، عنوان يک فمنيست، اقدامات او را در ارتباط با آزادی زن با ارزش ندانم. به اعتقاد من، هر حرکتی که به آزادی انسان از بندهايي که سنت ها به دست و پای او بسته بيانجامد حرکتی قابل تعمق و توجه و ارج گذاری است. به عقيده من سال های 1931 تا 1936 (که تجلی گاه آن همين روز هفدهم دی است) سال های بزرگ و سرنوشت سازی برای زن ها ايرانی به طور اخص، و زن های جهان به طور اعم، است. در اين سال ها همان قوانينی به نفع زنان ايران تغيير کرد که در بسياری از کشورهای ديگر جهان هنوز ـ در اوايل قرن بيست و يکم ـ تغييری در آن ها مشاهده نشده است؛ مثلا بگيريم قوانين مربوط به سن ازدواج را. در همين کشور آيت الله ها کودکان نه ساله را قانونا مورد تجاوز قرار می دهند و اسمش را ازدواج می گذارند. هنوز در برخی از کشورها زن ها حق طلاق ندارند و هنوز در برخی از کشورها زن ها نمی توانند بدون پوششی اسلامی از خانه خارج شوند و يا کاری معادل مردها داشته باشند. و يا حتی پشت فرمان اتومبيل بنشينند. به اين ترتيب، به گمان من، روز هفده دی روزی است که در آن زن های ايرانی توانستند، پس از سال ها تلاش، بالاخره به برخی از خواسته های خود برسند ـ خواسته هايي که به اعتقاد من بسيار مهم و با ارزش هستند. هفده دی روزی است که در آن زن ها توانستند حکومتی قادر و قدرتمند را قانع کنند که خواسته های آن ها را قانونی و رسمی کند. و در نتيجه هر جشنی که برای اين روز گرفته شود جشنی است که مربوط به زن و حقوق زن ايرانی است. برگرفته

	ABOUT THE FILM
	The fringes of Iranian society can be a lonely place, especially if you are a teenage girl with few resources to fall back on. The Glass House follows four girls striving to pull themselves out of the margins by attending Omid-e- Mehr, a one-of-kind rehabilitation center in uptown Tehran. Forget about the Iran that you’ve seen before. With a virtually invisible camera, the girls of The Glass House take us on a never-before-seen tour of the underclass of Iran with their brave and defiant stories: Samira struggles to overcome forced drug addiction; Mitra harnesses abandonment into her creative writing; Sussan teeters on a dangerous ledge after years of sexual abuse; and Nazila burgeons out of her hatred with her blazing rap music. This groundbreaking documentary reflects a side of Iran few have access to or paid attention to: a society lost to its traditions with nothing meaningful to replace them and a group of courageous women working to instill a sense of empowerment and hope into the minds and lives of otherwise discarded teenage girls. View the trailer A film by Hamid Rahmanian and Melissa Hibbard A production of Fictionville Studio, In association with Sundance Channel Documentary 92 minutes, ©2008 In Persian with English subtitles Filmmakers Hamid Rahmanian and Melissa Hibbard have created three documentaries on video: BREAKING BREAD (2000), SIR ALFRED OF CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORT (2001) and SHAHRBANOO (2002). In 2003, they co-founded a non-profit organization – ARTEEAST - its mission statement to promote the arts and cultures of the Middle East and it’s worldwide diasporas in the United States. In 2005, Hamid Rahmanian made his directorial début with the narrative feature DAY BREAK (Dame Sohb), which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and went on to win several awards at festivals around the world. THE GLASS HOUSE is their latest narrative documentary, which will premiere in the Fall 2008.
	GET INVOLVED WITH THE GLASS HOUSE
	We really appreciate all of you who supported and believed in this project. Now we need your help to build a community around this project, the Omid-e-Mehr Center and the lives of marginalized young women around the world. If you have friends and colleagues in the Netherlands, let them know about the IDFA screenings. Join and invite your freinds to The Glass House Mailing List and become a fan on facebook. Media Contacts? Forward them the pressbook We anticipate that in early summer 2009 we will begin a series of benefit screenings to help raise funds and awareness about the Omid e Mehr Center. And in the fall 2009, to go hand in hand with the television premiere of the film in the US on the Sundance Channel, Fictionville Studio will release the DVD, containing original essays written about the issues the film addresses, interviews, a commentary on the making of the film, deleted scenes and additional stories from a couple of the girls not in the film. A percentage of the profits of the DVD go to the Omid Foundation in London to support the center in Tehran.
	ABOUT OMID
	Omid e Mehr was established in 2004 in Iran to strengthen the social, emotional, and economic competencies of disadvantaged young women (aged from 15 to 25), and provide them with a sense of self-worth and with the opportunities to experience a full range of life options through self-empowerment, education and training. Our clients have typically either been put into care from an early age, or run away from abusive homes, or live in extreme poverty. They often suffer from severe mental health and emotional difficulties, mostly stemming from their experiences of neglect, physical and sexual abuse, and exposure to drugs and violence. Despite their past difficulties, and the obstacles still facing them, our young clients have dreams. They yearn to participate in life, and to make meaningful contributions to the world around them. Omids holistic approach provides these young clients with the opportunities to realize such dreams. They are offered the tools, structure and support to help them succeed. And, above all, we offer them the chance to be heard. The cornerstones of this approach are self-empowerment, education and training, supplemented by effective work placement, counselling and assistance. We will only be able to thrive and to continue with our work through the generosity of other people and their belief in our capacity to change lives.

Nursing Mothers Pass Toxins to Babies Through Breastfeeding.

Is Breast Milk Safe for Babies?

Written by Derek Markham - Published on November 6th, 2008

Breast milk is the best food for babies. Or is it?

Nursing your baby has numerous benefits, including decreased risks for allergies, diabetes, cancer, infections, and arthritis.

Colostrum, which comes in before the milk does, is the first food a newborn gets, and it passes on antibodies (immunoglobulin A) and leukocytes (which destroy disease-causing bacteria and viruses), and it also seals the infant’s highly permeable digestive tract with a barrier which prevents foreign substances from penetrating it. It is a safe and natural vaccine, the way that nature intended it. However, pesticides, heavy metals, and other persistent organic pollutants accumulate in human milk, leading some researchers to question whether the risks of exposure to pollutants in breast milk outweigh the benefits.

Persistent organic pollutants, including organochlorine pesticides such as DDT, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), tend to become concentrated in the food chain over time. Breastfeeding infants, being at the top of the food chain, receive relatively large doses of contaminants. These chemicals have been detected in human milk: bisphenol A, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexachlorobenzene, and the cyclodiene pesticides, including dieldrin, heptachlor, and chlordane. The persistent residues of many banned substances are still found in mother’s milk. In the October 2007 issue of Advances in Neonatal Care Journal, nurse–midwife Joanne Jorissen notes that on average, a nursing baby receives about 50 times the daily PCB intake of adults, and are predicted to have cumulative PCB exposures up to 18% higher than those of formula-fed infants. Up to 90% of human exposure to persistent and fat-soluble dioxin-like chemicals, is attributed to dietary intake. Red meat, dairy products, and fish contain higher concentrations, and meat eaters tend to have higher levels than mothers eating a vegetarian diet. To reduce a baby’s exposure, mothers can change their diets during pregnancy and breastfeeding, limiting the exposure to these chemicals during the critical times of growth and development. Nursing mothers that maintain their weight can also reduce the level of contaminants in their milk because the mobilization of fat stores is lessened.

Don’t give up on breastfeeding because of pollutants in breast milk:

“There is much evidence that breastfeeding plays a role in attenuating and reversing exposure to neurotoxic substrates, including lead and mercury. Breastfeeding may also indirectly affect the metabolism of mercury in exposed infants by increasing elimination of the toxic metal.” - University of Brasília nutrition professor José G. Dórea

The World Health Organization, the Academy of Pediatrics, and the US Surgeon General remain overwhelmingly in favor of breastfeeding, even with the evidence of contaminants in mother’s milk, believing the benefits to outweigh the risks to infants.

“To date, no environmental contaminant, except in situations of acute poisoning, has been found to cause more harm to infants than does lack of breastfeeding. I have seen no data that would argue against breastfeeding, even in the presence of today’s levels of environmental toxicants.” - physician–epidemiologist Miriam Labbok, Director of the Carolina Breastfeeding Institute

La Leche League gives these tips to reduce the levels of chemicals in the mother’s body -

• Avoid smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol
• Be aware when purchasing homes and buildings that have been treated with pesticides for termites or older homes that might have lead-based paints.
• Eat a variety of foods low in animal fats, and remove skin and excess fat from meats and poultry. Avoiding high-fat dairy products may reduce the potential burden of fat-soluble contaminants.
• Increase consumption of grains, fruits and vegetables. Wash and peel fruits and vegetables to help eliminate the hazard of pesticide residues on the skin. Eat food grown without fertilizer or pesticide application.
• Avoid fish such as swordfish and shark or freshwater fish from waters reported as contaminated by local health agencies.
• Limit exposure to chemicals such as solvents found in paints, non-water based glues, furniture strippers, nail polish, and gasoline fumes.
• Remove the plastic cover of dry cleaned clothing, and air out the garments in a room with open windows for 12-24 hours.
• Try to avoid contact with incinerator discharge, preserved wood, or produce grown near incinerators.
• Attempt to avoid occupational exposure to chemical contaminant.
• Encourage other family members to be sensitive to contaminant residue they may inadvertently bring into the home.

Yes, breast is still best!

The United Nation - A Speech by Roya Kashefi

The United Nation _ June 16 – 19, 2008 - Geneva, Switzerland
Sponsored by the Women’s Federation for World Peace – International
Transcript as presented by Roya Kashefi - Wednesday 18 June 2008

Thank you.
It’s an honour and a privilege to be presenting my paper to such a distinguished and accomplished group of women with such diverse exciting background. I’m very happy and excited to be here and I thank Carolyn for inviting me. I only finalised my travel arrangements on Friday and last night decided to change the paper I was going to present here today. So, please forgive me if I fumble through my notes! Before I begin there are two points I’d like to say: In this talk I’m going to discuss Islamic law as it is identified in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic and applied and practised in Iran. This in NO WAY is an attack on Islam as a religion. I’m pointing out the interpretation of the Qoran and the Shari’a by the ruling Shi’a theocracy in Iran and I DO hope my Moslem sisters don’t take offence. I have great respect for their faith and choices. Secondly, as I have done every time I’ve spoken publicly in the recent months - I would like to dedicate my presentation to Hana Abdi and Ronak Safarzadeh who are paying the price for educating women in Iranian Kurdistan. You can see their pictures behind you . These young women have been in detention for almost ten months, mostly in solitary confinement, with almost no access to legal representation or the opportunity to see their families. They belong to a campaign called ‘Change for Equality’. I’ll talk more about this Campaign later. Yesterday, we heard from our beautiful young Lebanese surgeon who finished her talk by asking us to share in her dream. Well, I want to START by sharing MY DREAM with you. My dream is of EQUALITY with the men in my country. By this I don’t mean I want men and women to be the same, because we’re not.Equality for me means a society in which women and men enjoy the same opportunities, rights and obligations in all spheres of life. Equality for me is when both sexes share equally in the distribution of power and influence; when they have equal opportunities for financial independence. Equality for me means enjoying equal access to education and opportunity to develop personal ambitions, to develop interests and talents. Equality for me is when men and women share equal responsibility for the home and children. But, most importantly for me, equality is when women are completely free from coercion, intimidation and gender based violence at work and at home. I strongly believe that like everything else PEACE begins at home. We have to identify and overcome barriers and obstacles within our countries in the region first, before we can ever hope of extending it to our relations with our neighbours. I’m talking about Institutional discrimination and laws that encourage the enforcement of inequality; or legalising the worst traditional practices such as honour killings.I AM sorry to say that since the inception of the Islamic republic in 1979 it feels like WAR has been declared against Iranian women and religious minorities; never mind wiping Israel off the face of the map!Both groups – women and religious minorities - are legally discriminated against and suffer extensively because of it.So far we’ve heard how your countries are taking steps to bring their laws and policies in line with the realities of life in the 21st century. We heard of government efforts in Turkey to improve girl’s access to education
We have even heard that Iraq and Afghanistan despite the invasion and occupation and the violence we hear about daily, are removing obstacles in the way of women’s progress by introducing quotas and other such measures. Unfortunately, in my country, the Islamic Republic is going the other way. Please tell me if I’m mistaken but I think Iran is the only country that when in 2003 ratifying CEDAW was introduced to parliament, tens of thousands of Talabehs – religious students - came out in the city of Qom in a mass protest rally saying that CEDAW is an insult to Islam, human rights is a western thing and it would infect / destroy Islam. The bill was vetoed and it has never been discussed in the parliament again. And it doesn’t look like that it’s going to be reintroduced anytime soon. Under the current president, Mr Ahmadinejad, the woman in charge of ‘Women and Family Affairs’ stated that CEDAW would be ratified in Iran over ‘her dead body’! The funny thing is that other Moslem countries in the region have ratified CEDAW and yesterday we heard about Syria’s efforts in improving the situation for its women by ratifying CEDAW in 2003.
Examples of Discriminatory Laws
Anyway, lets have a look at some of the laws that I’m talking about and I’ll quickly give you some examples.OK, here are some examples of this inequality and discrimination. These can be seen in :
Compensation
Marriage
Divorce
Child Custody
Education
Employment
Travel
Inheritance
Testimony

I stress that this list is only an example of some of the discriminatory laws applied in Iran today. You can see that it touches every aspect of a woman’s life.I’ve put compensation right at the top for a reason. In Iran today, if a four months pregnant woman has an accident and lose her baby the amount of Diye or cash compensation she’ll receive is different according to the sex of her unborn baby. If the baby was a girl her compensation would be half of the amount she would receive if than it were a boy so in a sense discrimination against US begins even before we are born!
On Marriage
I should say that the legal age of marriage for girls is 13 and 15 for boys. This is thanks to activists who fought to increase girls’ marriage age. But girls as young as eight years and nine months can still be married with a judge’s permission.According to 2006 census there are 4741 widowed and divorced girls in the 10-14 age group. 2282 are widows -Men may marry up to four full wives and as many as temporary wives -When I speak of laws going backwards this is a perfect example. In reviewing family law an article has been introduced whereby the man can marry without the knowledge and/or permission of his wife as long as a judge acknowledges that he can afford to take a second wife.Back to my list ,Let’s look at employment and travel-As a simple example - and I always use this – I’m sure you have all heard of Shirin Ebadi. Shirin Ebadi the 2003 Noble Laureate could not carry on with her work if her husband didn’t want her to. Her husband could apply to the courts and legally prohibit her from working. She could not have travelled out of Iran to receive her Nobel Prize if her husband did not give her permission to travel. On education, although over 63% of university graduates are women, they form the highest number of the unemployed leading to disillusionment, dissatisfaction, and hopelessness – despondency the number of graduate women in employment have dropped five fold according to a study at Tehran University. Women are not allowed to participate in about 25% of subjects being taught at university and efforts to segregate the universities are underway. As we speak sit-ins and nationwide protests are going on about these policies by all students - male and female.
Changing Culture
Yet, despite all the problems and impediments - and I’ve only told you about a few of them - women have fought to keep themselves in the public life. The brave young Iranian women, particularly those born since the 1979 Revolution in the last thirty years, are way ahead of the regime and in practice are working to change their lives for the better without any support or government funding.Despite all the cultural, social and legal barriers facing Iranian women are standing up for their rights and demanding equality. They have found innovative and creative yet culturally acceptable methods. They try to work within the confines of existing laws while working towards change. They have even approached other Grand Ayatollahs to secure their support for their demands.Since August 2006 at least 8 campaigns have been set up with the main one entitled ‘Change for Equality’ that works towards changing the unequal laws. It started off by a petition for one million signatures demanding change. But, very quickly through talking to women in an effort to collect signatures a whole culture changing movement has mushroomed throughout Iran. A look at their website shows you that in a very short time the campaign has headquarters in most major cities with an active network in their surrounding regions. The ever growing numbers of activists believe in changing the culture through education, through raising awareness. They go out to women in the remotest of villages talking to women about equality hoping that as they are bringing up their children they won’t differentiate between their sons and daughters and that they would teach respect to their boys so that for example when he grows up he wouldn’t see violence against his wife as his RIGHT and she wouldn’t accept it as the norm.This is what Ronak and Hana were doing when they were arrested.These courageous women pay the price for their efforts to change culture through raising awareness. In the last two years over 180 women have been arrested and
Charged with threatening national security! Charged with disturbing public opinion!
They have been sentenced to long custodial sentences, to floggings and have paid over a million dollars in bail and surety. To My Recommendations : It’s very well talking about capacity building when there are no cultural or legal barriers to women’s participation or at least a governmental will to improve the situation for women but this is not necessarily the reality.
I believe therefore that: 1- In the first instance we should ‘Identify obstacles to progress’ in its smallest increments . This way you can best plan how to overcome them step by step.
2 - Secondly, As Dr In’aam Al Mufti said so eloquently yesterday: Support grassroots organisations through international awareness and support. What do I mean by this: Technology is a wonderful thing. The women in Iran indeed all the civil rights activists use the internet and email for information and contact. All of you accomplished women; all of us, could very simply belong to a group mailing list. In this way through one simple email we could inform each other of our projects. Where I’m coming from, the support of MOSLEM WOMEN in key decision making positions or positions of power, such as yourselves, for the women in Iran could have a most influential effect when an activist is arrested for demanding nothing more than equality. 3 - Thirdly, include men in the dialogue .Coming from the culture we do NONE of us could do what we do without the support of our men I believe that all of us who are here have either had a supportive father or husband. So I strongly advocate including men when capacity building and other similar subjects are being discussed.In Iran today women’s movement is at the heart of social change and benefits from the support of many men who also believe in equal laws. I would therefore like to end my presentation by showing you the face of the first man who was detained, again in solitary confinement, received torture and has very recently been sentenced to a one year prison sentence for his support of the Iranian women’s campaign for equal rights.
Amir Yaghoub Ali . My apologies to the Chair for going over my allocated time. Thank you.

Eteraz e Zan Dar Tabriz - Protests of a women in Tabriz against the IRI's Repression

Support Iranian Women's Rights Activists on their National Day of Solidarity

Today marks the second anniversary of a protest held by women's rights activists in Iran. That demonstration was broken up violently by security forces and led to the arrest of 70 men and women. The activists then launched the One Million Signatures Campaign, an unprecedented grass-roots campaign to change gender discrimination in Iranian laws. They chose June 12 as a national day of solidarity with their campaign, and planned to hold an event today commemorating the protests. However, their gathering was canceled due to threats and when a number of women arrived anyway, security forces blocked the doors. Eight women have reportedly been detained: Nafiseh Azad, Jila Baniyaghoub, Farideh Ghaeb, Jelveh Javaheri, Sarah Loghmani, Nahid Mirhaj, Aida Saadat, and Nasreen Sotoodeh. Human Rights First has joined over forty international human rights organizations to express support for the defenders. On this anniversary, call on the Iranian government to cease its persecution of the activists, drop any charges against them, and to allow women's rights activists to engage in their rights of assembly and peaceful political expression.

Almost 20 websites blocked as online censorship grows

Reporters Without Borders today criticised the Iranian government for falsely trying to improve the country’s image by shutting down at least 14 feminist websites, summoning their editors before courts and ordering Internet service providers (ISPs) to censor content.“The government is preparing for next year’s presidential election by removing online material it does not like,” the worldwide press freedom organisation said. “News about protests by workers, women and students is steadily disappearing from these sites in an effort to kill the impression of a country in crisis.” The feminist websites, all blocked this month (see list below), backed the campaign to gather a million signatures opposing discriminatory laws against women, launched by a group of “cyber-feminists” in 2005. Other sites run by independent journalists have also been blocked and some ISPs have anonymously admitted to Reporters Without Borders they received daily lists of websites to be censored. “Such lists are not new but the frequency of such action is significantly increasing control of the Internet,” the organisations said.

Cyber-feminists Maryam Hosseinkhah and Jelveh Javaheri were summoned on 18 May to appear before a revolutionary court in Teheran for their online activities, including their work with the Tagir Bary Barbary (Change for Equality) site. Hosseinkhah was interrogated and Javaheri is due to appear on 2 August. Communication and information technology minister Mohammad Soleimani meanwhile said on 17 May that a 56K Internet connection was “quite sufficient” for the country’s Internet users. Iran is 166th in the 169-country Reporters Without Borders press freedom index and is also on the organisation’s Enemies of the Internet list.

The websites blocked this month are:

Iran: Cleric 'calls all feminists whores and foreign spies'Tehran, 27 May (AKI) -

A top Iranian cleric from the northeast, Ayatollah Ahmad Elmalhoda, has reportedly called feminists "whores and foreign spies". "These whores, clutching a piece of paper in their hands to gather signatures, are working for foreign powers and want to destabilise the Islamic Republic," said Elmalhoda.He is the highly influential prayer leader in the northeastern holy Shia city of Mashad.Elmalhoda has called on the government to "intervene decisively against these whores, because it is improper to leave them to act with impunity."A few weeks ago, Elmalhoda said women who do not wear the Islamic veil as instructed "turned men into animals."Verbal attacks against feminists in Iran are also being accompanied by a vast judicial offensive. Eight feminists involved in a campaign to gather "a million signatures in favour of equality" were recently given jail terms of various lengths and sentenced to public floggings.

Protest Travel Ban on Iranian Women's Rights Activist

Journalist and activist Parvin Ardalan should have been in Stockholm on March 6, 2008. She was to receive the Olaf Palme Prize in recognition of her leading role in the One Million Signatures campaign for women's equality in Iran. However, on March 3, airport security officials removed her from a flight about to take off from Tehran's international airport, seized her passport, and served her with a summons to appear in court. Ardalan's arbitrary travel ban is just the latest in a sustained campaign of repression directed against women's rights activists in Iran, and especially against supporters of the One Million Signatures Campaign.

Please join us in calling on the Iranian government to:
end the unlawful harassment of non-violent activists in Iran, including by returning Parvin Ardalan's passport and respecting her right to travel; end censorship of websites and publications that promote human rights and women's rights;release those imprisoned for their support of the campaign; drop charges and close criminal investigations into the legitimate activities of such activists.

OMID-E-MEHR: empowering disadvantaged young women in Iran
This is an invitation for you to join us in helping disadvantaged young women in Iran. You can help by volunteering time, by fundraising for us, by engaging in academic research on topics that are of importance to us, or simply by making a donation.

Our mission
Our mission is to strengthen the social, emotional, and economic competencies of disadvantaged young women (aged from 15 to 25) in Iran, and to provide them with a sense of self-worth and with the opportunities to experience a full range of life options through self-empowerment, education and training. Starting with a small group of 15 clients in late 2004, we now cater to approximately 75 young women at any one time, more than a quarter of whom are Afghani immigrants. Our track record speaks for itself. Over 80% of our 'graduates' hold permanent secure jobs and are able to enjoy a fulfilling and enjoyable life.
Our clients
Our clients have typically either been put into care from an early age, or run away from abusive homes, or live in extreme poverty. They often suffer from severe mental health and emotional difficulties, mostly stemming from their experiences of neglect, physical and sexual abuse, and exposure to drugs and violence. We value and nurture the voices, hearts, and minds of these underprivileged and vulnerable young women and help them transform their lives. We believe that through love and care in the context of sustained relationships where practical and emotional needs are addressed, our young clients will be able to overcome the traumas of the past and will eventually be able to take responsibility for their emotions and behaviour.

Click here to read about the transformation of our 'graduates' Firouzeh, Mandana, Nina, Neda and Leila.
Our program
Despite their past difficulties, and the obstacles still facing them, our young clients have the same dreams as all of us. They yearn to participate in life, and to make meaningful contributions to the world around them. At Omid, we use a holistic approach to provide our young clients with the opportunities to realise such dreams. We offer them the tools, structure and support to help them succeed. And, above all, we offer them the chance to be heard. The cornerstones of our approach are self-empowerment, education and training, supplemented by effective work placement, counselling and assistance. Professional and vocational (workforce skills) training is one of our major priorities. There are three distinct phases in our involvement with our clients:- Phase 1: In-house (15-18 months)Creating a welcoming environment, core education, vocational training, recreational activities, therapeutic interventions and workshops, psychiatric counselling.- Phase 2: Professional training (6-48 months)Advanced training for white collar professions, preparations for trade careers, enrolling in a university degree program.- Phase 3: Job placement and monitoring (6-18 months)Job placement of our graduates and monitoring their performance at work.Click here for a detailed description for the above described three phase program.
YOUR INVOLVEMENT
We will only be able to thrive and to continue with our work through the generosity of other people and their belief in our capacity to change lives. You can help make a difference by volunteering time, by fundraising for us, by engaging in academic research on topics that are of importance to us, or simply by making a donation.

LAW ABIDING CITIZENS ARE PUT IN JAIL FOR FEAR OF BECOMING ANTI GOVERNMENT AGITATORS 'LATER' !

معصومه ضیاء، فعال جنبش زنان به یک سال حبس تعزیری محکوم شد

کانون زنان ایرانی :

معصومه ضیاء ۲۲ خرداد سال ۸۵ در تجمعی اعتراضی زنان نسبت به قوانین تبعیض آمیز در میدان هفت تیر دستگیر شد و یک هفته در بند ۲۰۹ زندان اوین به سر برد. چهارشنبه ۱۶ آبان ماه دادگاه تجدید نظر معصومه ضیاء برگزار شد و حکم یک سال حبس تعزیری برایش تایید شد. فریده غیرت، وکیل پرونده معصومه ضیاء که نسبت به این حکم معترض است می گوید: “چهارشنبه ۱۶ آبان دادگاه تجدید نظر برگزار شد و قاضی خیلی فوری همان جا حکم را صادر کرد و من هم فوری اعتراض کردم و ۲۰ روز نیز فرصت دارم تا لایحه اعتراضی ام را به دادگاه ارسال کنم.” به گفته غیرت حکم یک سال حبس تعزیری تنها برای اتهام “اقدام علیه کشور از طریق شرکت در تجمع غیر قانونی ” است و قسمت دوم اتهام معصومه ضیاء که “ایجاد جنجال و هیاهو” بوده به دادگاه عمومی ارسال شده و هنوز از نتیجه این اتهام خبری نیست. او می گوید: “قاضی در اعتراض من که چرا چنین حکم هایی را برای فعالان حوزه زنان تعیین می کنید و آنها را سابقه دار می کنید ؟ پاسخ داد که اینها بعدا مخالف ر‍ژیم می شوند و من گفتم که این زنان که فعلا نه تنها مخالف رژیم نیستند بلکه در چارچوب قانون هم عمل می کنند.”

سرکوب جنایتکارانه زنان و دختران به بهانه "بدحجابی"
كانون زنان ايراني : تذكر ماموران نيروي انتظامي به دختران جوان در مورد بدحجابي باعث درگيري در ميدان هفت تير تهران شد. (تصویر بزرگ در زیر آمده است)امروز (يكشنبه) صبح و عصر در پي اجراي طرح مبارزه با بدحجابي تعدادي از ماموران وي‍ژه اين طرح با دختران جوان درگير شدند. به گفته شاهدان عيني، ماموران سعي در دستگيري و بازداشت اين زنان داشتند و با مقاومت آنان چند تن از مردان حاضر در ميدان هفت تير نيز با ماموران به بحث پرداختند. يكي از مغازه داران ميدان هفت تير در اين باره گفت: "ماموران زن به سه دختر25 تا 30 ساله در باره حجابشان تذكر دادند، اما اين تذكر با لحن تندي انجام گرفت كه باعث برانگيختن واكنش آنها شد.يك پليس زن سعي داشت با كشيدن دست يكي از دختران سعي در سوار كردن او به ماشين داشته باشد، اما او حاضر به سوار شدن نبود. مامور مرد هم با پاي خود به ساق پاي زن جوان زد. اين ماجرا باعث دخالت مردم شد. اين سه زن سرانجام توسط حاضران در ميدان هفت تير از صحنه خارج شدند و با يك ماشين سمند از صحنه دور شدند." آنها در حالي سوار ماشين شدند كه لباس هايشان در جريان درگيري پاره شده بود و ديگر حجابي بر سر نداشتند. يكي از رانندگان تاكسي نيز در باره درگيري صبح در ميدان هفت تير گفت: "امروز صبح هم ماموران با رفتار تندي دختر جواني را به دليل بدحجابي كشان كشان سوار خودرو نيروي انتظامي كردند و با خود بردند. فرياد هاي اين دختر جوان اعتراض هاي مردم را نيز برانگيخت." به گفته او در درگيري بعد از ظهرميان مردم و پليس مادر و دختري كه از سوي ماموران مورد ضرب و شتم قرار گرفتند در حالي كه صورت خونيشان را به ماموران پليس نشان مي دادند در اعتراض به اين نوع برخورد روسري خود را از سر برداشتند." گفته مي شود اين مادر و دختر با موبايلشان مشغول فيلم برداري از برخورد خشن پليس با زنان بودند. توجه :عكسي كه همراه با اين خبر مي بينيد توسط يكي از شهروندان تهراني و با گوشي موبايل از واقعه عصر امروز گرفته شده است .
