Empowering Women as a Factor of Change

One of the essential prerequisites for establishing a sustainable democracy and achieving a nonviolent transition from the gender apartheid system of Velayat-e Faqih is the inclusion of gender equality in the country’s new constitution.
This goal can only be achieved through the collective awareness and wisdom of all Iranian citizens.

In this spirit, all citizens are invited to share their personal experiences with Raavi Bot on our Telegram channel.
Recounting the violence inflicted upon women — from the home to the workplace, from society at large to state institutions — helps elevate collective understanding.

The Raavi podcast and short film series aim to raise public awareness about the real-life consequences of gender discrimination on the daily lives of people in Iran.

Our Vision

Our vision is to raise awareness among the public about the implications of sexual discrimination on the personal well-being of citizens and the state of the country. By shedding light on how sexual discrimination impacts individuals and society, we aim to compel society to demand that legal authorities formally acknowledge sexual-based violence against girls and women in Iran as a crime. We encourage Iranian women to speak out against sexual inequity and work for widespread reform.

Confronting Inequality for Progress

Democracy and women’s rights can only advance through confronting and eliminating sexual apartheid, structural, and institutional inequality. Under Women Watch, we undertake various projects, including:

RAVI Bot

A Bot designed to collect documents and testimonies of crimes against women, creating a databank to prove the existence of systematic and institutionalized sexual discrimination within the Islamic regime. This initiative also generates statistical information and helps identify those responsible for crimes against women.

Educational Podcasts

We produce educational podcasts covering topics such as violations against women, women’s rights, women’s health, and the empowerment of women as agents of change in society. These programs aim to inform, educate, and empower Iranian women to advocate for their rights and strive for positive societal transformation.
