Women in Iran: 40 years of saying NO to the Islamic Republic and Political Islam

Women and the 1980s genocide

The Islamic Republic managed to establish its rule by repressing unemployed workers, attacking the Turkmen Sahra people’s councils, raiding newspapers, attacking universities, widespread purges of government offices, attacking workers’ councils all over the country and eventually a full-scale genocide of all political activists and opposition groups. Women were at the forefront of the fight against the Islamic Republic and became victims of the regime’s killing machine.
