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.

Episode 13
The women’s ward at Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad has effectively become an exile camp for female inmates—an environment marred by neglect, suffering, and the complete disregard of human rights. Prisoners are subjected to deplorable sanitary, nutritional, and medical conditions, with fundamental rights routinely violated.
Despite its limited capacity, the prison currently holds at least 3,500 inmates. Many face severe shortages of essential needs such as clean drinking water, proper nutrition, and basic hygiene supplies. Meals are extremely poor in quality and lack nutritional value, leading to a wide range of physical health problems among the incarcerated women.
