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.© 2026 NCRI Women's Committee Social Sciences

  • Femmes prisonnières prises dans les tirs croisés (français)
    Mar 25 2026

    Bienvenue dans un nouvel épisode du podcast de la Commission des femmes du Conseil national de la Résistance iranienne. Merci. C’est vraiment un sujet crucial qu’on aborde aujourd’hui. Absolument.

    Pour commencer, j’aimerais qu’on imagine un instant, juste pour se mettre dans le contexte. Imaginez des passagers enfermés à fond de cale sur un navire en train de sombrer. L’eau monte, la panique s’installe. Oui, l’angoisse totale. Voilà. Et au lieu de distribuer des gilets de sauvetage ou d’ouvrir les écoutilles, l’équipage prend une décision terrifiante : ils sortent les chalumeaux et décident de souder les issues de secours avant de fuir eux-mêmes.

    C’est impensable. Et pourtant, c’est exactement la réalité de ce qui se passe en ce moment même dans les prisons iraniennes. L’objectif de cette analyse est de décortiquer un système qui transforme délibérément l’incarcération en piège mortel.

    Et c’est une autopsie de la situation absolument indispensable. Pour bien comprendre, il faut d’abord regarder la situation globale. La population civile fait face à une double tenaille. D’un côté, il y a la menace qui vient du ciel : les dommages, la destruction liée à la guerre et aux frappes militaires. De l’autre, profitant de ce chaos, une répression intérieure tourne à plein régime, avec des arrestations massives.

    Exactement, des arrestations de masse pour étouffer toute forme de dissidence. C’est une population prise au piège entre les bombes et les geôliers. Et le lieu où cette double menace atteint son paroxysme, c’est la prison. L’impossibilité de fuir y est totale.

  • Iran’s Women Prisoners Trapped in the Crossfire
    Mar 21 2026

    Imagine the air raid sirens go off, the bombs start falling.

    Right.

    If you're a civilian, you run for shelter. You try to find safety somewhere. But now I want you to imagine you're a political prisoner. The sirens go off, the ground is literally shaking, the guards flee their posts and instead of opening the gates to let you seek cover you hear the hiss of blow torches.

    God.

    Yeah. They are actively welding your cell doors shut.

    It's, it's a horrifying reality and it's happening right now. We are looking at a population that is dealing with the catastrophic damage and destruction of war while simultaneously facing a doubled wave of domestic repression.

    And mass arrests. Right?

    Exactly. Mass arrests by the ruling regime. They are essentially trapped.

  • Iran’s Historic Transition: Why Women Must Lead the New Republic
    Mar 8 2026

    In this episode of the NCRI Women’s Committee Podcast, we explore the unprecedented developments unfolding in Iran following the January 2026 uprising and the collapse of decades of religious dictatorship.

    As the Iranian people move toward a new political future, two powerful themes stand at the center of this historic moment: the demand for complete national self-determination and the crucial role of women in shaping Iran’s democratic future.

    We examine the immense sacrifices made during the uprising, the international consequences that followed, and the formation of a provisional government by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). Most importantly, we take a deep dive into why women’s leadership has become the defining force of Iran’s resistance movement.

    For decades, Iranian women have stood at the forefront of the struggle for freedom, equality, and democracy. From organizing resistance networks to shaping political strategy, their leadership has become the benchmark for a truly democratic alternative.

    This episode also explores the NCRI’s long-standing vision for gender equality, including a comprehensive charter supporting women’s rights, equal pay, freedom of choice, and the separation of religion and state.

    As Iran stands at a historic crossroads, we ask a critical question:
    If democracy is measured by the power entrusted to women, what lessons can the world learn from the Iranian women leading this movement?
