Sanam Dolatshahi has just started speaking about the situation of women in Iran and the feminism movement in Iran. Few scholars can deny that there is a women's movement in Iran. Some people say this movement has existed since one hundred years ago.
Here are some points mentioned by Sanam:
- The Iranian women became self-conscious with the advent of the constitutional movement Iran.
- The Shah of Iran introduced a series of social reforms that considered progressive rights for Iranian women. Sanam's research shows that amid common understanding, it was not Shah's own idea to give the rights to the women, but women inside the labyrinths of power in Iran, were those who convinced the king to consider reforms.
- The movement of the Iranian movement, is neither secular, nor Islamic, but its a feminism movement.
- Women were forgotten in Iranian during the revolution, the war, the reform era and the era of nuclear tensions.
- The government considers women's movement against itself and the nuclear program because the way the Western media look at it. The reason: Western media portray a picture of the feminism movement as a social movement that is trying to topple the regime.
- The feminism movement in Iran was present in Iran for many years, but the advent of the Internet and Khatami's reform era promoted their presence in the society.
