NCRI Women's Committee
We work extensively with Iranian women outside the country and maintain a permanent contact with women inside Iran. The Women’s Committee is actively involved with many women’s rights organizations and NGO’s and the Iranian diaspora. The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women. Attending UN Human Rights Council meetings and other international or regional conferences on women’s issues, and engaging in a relentless battle against the Iranian regime’s misogyny are part of the activities of members and associates of the committee.

Fifty years later, anti-Iranian regime activist Aziz Rezaee still bears the scars of torture on the bottoms of her frail feet. Yet, the 96-year-old’s years of abuse and political imprisonment stemmed not from the iron fist of the Mullahs but from their predecessor, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, revealing the underbelly of an Iranian epoch often romanticized by history as a bastion of freedom and progress.
