Women core of resistance


The women campaign against anti-woman stateTV programs.

Last week the women MPs informed that they are working on a plan that allow the men to marry with more than a woman. “We have to find a solution. The numbers of girls and women have increased and now they are more than men.” Said of the women MPs last week. This expression excited many women including the exe-women MPs. “This is a disgracing idea and women who are active in Iranian women movement are ashamed.”
Let me tell you that this idea surprised me. Here many of political and social activists think that they can not be hopeful about any vanguard plan for women in this conservative’s parliament.
I think the resistance core of the political and social sphere will be focused on the women issues. In fact after the collapse of reformist in their way to democratize the political system, at this time we are confronting with a serious ambiguity. But the women have shown themselves forceful to follow their requests. Only a few weeks ago they had a campaign about the governmental TV which is belong to conservatives. The TV used two-wife personalities in their program for several and infuriated women. The protest of women in * of Mars is another example. Activating and increasing the number of feminist websites is another sign that we can mention it. We will hear more about the women activists in the future.
Islamic regime has a critical challenge with women issues and as I said before their identity has mixed with women issues.
