Iranian women do not have the right to divorce, do not have custody of children (boys under two years old, girls under seven years old can be guardianship by the mother), Iranian women do not have the right to apply for their own passports, to go abroad must be signed by the husband permission; In cases of murder in which men and women defend themselves equally, it is often difficult for women to escape the death penalty. Islamic law discriminates against women, which is the root cause of the low social status of Iranian women.

As we all know, the status of women in Iran is not particularly high, where women had to wear a black veil to go out, and there are strict rules on what to wear. Women living in Iran, it may be said, have too many restrictions. In recent years, with the gradual liberation of the mind, only a little better, some islamic countries, only relaxed the rule that women can ride motorcycles. But now Iran is still almost the same. When women go out, they must wear dark clothes, which are not allowed to be too transparent. How low is the status of women in Iran? Iran is an islamic country and places a lot of emphasis on religious rules, which means that even if women are in prison, they still have to follow the rules and pray with their instructors every day. When some female prisoners are sentenced to death, if the person is a virgin, then can not be executed, so there is a method, let the warden and this woman will be temporarily married, and after the wedding night, then the female prisoners to the execution ground.

Since Islam is more than 1,000 years old and its influence is so deeply rooted in Iran, its hold on women will not disappear for a while. But modernization is the trend of the world, and it is also inevitable in Iran. The development of modernization is bound to have a huge impact on Iran's traditional islamic laws, so the Iranian women's liberation movement has a broad prospect. In the future, a moderate emancipation of women that accommodates islamic traditions and demands more freedom will be accepted by most iranians. As Sara habibi, who was appointed in January 1992 as President rafsanjani's adviser on women's affairs, said: "we want more progress for women"; "I believe that women can achieve a higher status while complying with islamic morality," she said. "the liberation of women requires more efforts of women themselves." The liberation struggle of Iranian women will be a tortuous process.

"We had so much fun for three hours. We all laughed, some even cried with joy, "one Iranian woman wrote on twitter. What makes them so excited?

FIFA President gianni infantino is visiting Iran for the 100th anniversary of the Iranian football federation. One of the events of infantino's visit to Iran was to watch the match between Tehran independence and persepolis in the 95,000-seat azadi stadium, Iran's "Tehran Derby". His move drew protests from women's rights groups in Iran, where women are not allowed to watch the game or face arrest. OpenStatiums, an Iranian group that urges open stadiums for women, wrote an open letter to infantino. "On behalf of all women in Iran who love football, we are writing you this letter. We just want to go to the stadium and support our team. We urge the necessary changes in the regulations to punish the Iranian football association and uphold our rights." Actually really have the corresponding provisions in the FIFA regulations, which wrote: "for any country, individuals or groups to race, color, nationality, national or social origin, gender, physical defect, language, religion, political opinion, or any other opinions, property, birth or sexual orientation discrimination are banned, will be put to suspension or expulsion of penalties."

What can we do? First, legislation guarantees women's rights and prohibits discrimination. Only with the law, women can take up the weapon of law and fight against injustice when they are discriminated against. Secondly, schools and other educational institutions to carry out the idea of gender equality education. Only by this aspect of ideological education, will update some people's wrong ideas. Only the right thought can have the right action. Last but not least, the elimination of gender discrimination from me. I do not discriminate at the same time, but also to the people around publicity, can not discriminate against others.

Iran also allowed female fans to enter the stadium for the 2018 World Cup match between Iran and Spain, but they were watching the match live. Women have been banned from soccer or other stadiums to watch men's games since the 1979 islamic revolution.

More than 3,500 Iranian women entered the Tehran football stadium Wednesday for the national team's first match in 40 years. More than 3,500 Iranian female fans entered Iran's Azadi Stadium in Tehran to watch Iran's World Cup qualifying match against Cambodia to support the national team. Iran also performed at a high level, beating Cambodia 14-0 at home. Photos from the scene showed female Iranian fans waving the national flag and female fans painting the national flag on their faces. Everyone was smiling.
