HAIL TO THE IRANIAN
WOMEN'S REVOLUTIONISTS FALLEN FOR FREDOM
against
the supreme leader, the arch-reactionary Ayatollah Ali Khomeini,
and his placeman president. The message of
the women when the former president visited a university was plain: <give way or
get lost> in 2023 and still is.
IN MEMORY OF ASRA PANAHI (16)- JINA MAMINI (22) - NIKA SHAKARAMI (16), SARINA ESMAILZADEH (16) HADIS NAJAFI (20), AND MORE WOMEN WHO WERE ASSASINATED SO
FAR BY THE IRANIAN AXIS OF EVIL.

Protests against
violence against women in the Middle East November 2024
November 26 - 25,
2024
Preface by Gino d'Artali:
Yesterday, GMT time, was the
so-called 'International Day against violence
against Women'
Now, since the women-led "Woman, Life,
Freedom" revolutions
are getting a growing stronger hold in the Middle East
it is always wise to face the Fact-Finding reality
and so let's read two reports of 2
trustworthy outlets
who does excactly that: |
When one hurts or kills a women
one hurts or kills hummanity and is an antrocitie.
Gino d'Artali
and: My mother (1931-1997) always said to me <Mi
figlio, non esistono notizie <vecchie> perche puoi imparare qualcosa da
qualsiasi notizia.> Translated: <My son, there is no such thing as so
called 'old' news because you can learn something from any news.>
Gianna d'Artali.
NCRI - November 28,2024
Child Marriage: It fails to deter child marriages.
Educational Rights: It does not prevent fathers from barring daughters
from continuing their education.
Divorce and Custody: It denies mothers the right to divorce or custody
of their children.
The bill fundamentally does not acknowledge the existence of violence
against women, including domestic violence. The term violence is notably
absent from the text.
Article 1, under General Provisions, states that the bill's measures are
conditional upon compliance with Article 10 of the clerical regime's
Constitution, which emphasizes family preservation under the principles
of the mullahs’ Sharia. Under these principles, the husband is
explicitly recognized as the head of the family.
Article 4 stipulates that women's legal complaints are subject to the
regime's Criminal Procedure Code, where a woman’s testimony is legally
worth half or less than half of a man's.
Misplaced Priorities
Under the section titled Support Measures, the bill allocates
responsibilities to the Prison Organization. This focus bizarrely
centers on regulating the punishment of imprisoned women rather than
addressing penalties for male perpetrators of violence. The bill
reiterates provisions from the mullahs' Penal Code, notorious for its
discriminatory treatment of women. For example, Article 34 superficially
addresses forced marriage and divorce but simultaneously defers to
Article 1041 of the Civil Code. This Civil Code allows fathers,
grandfathers, or judges to determine a girl's suitability for
marriage-even below the age of 13.
Protecting the Perpetrators
The bill actively prioritizes preserving the family structure under the
husband's authority. It criminalizes actions such as women fleeing
abusive homes, undergoing abortions, or seeking divorce while protecting
male offenders. Ultimately, Articles 42 and 43 explicitly protect
perpetrators of violence, stating: <For discretionary offenses of
degrees six, seven, and eight, if the perpetrator is the woman's father,
mother, or husband, the court may, considering 'individual and familial
circumstances,' sentence the perpetrator to alternative penalties
instead of the prescribed punishments.> It further stipulates that
<Offenses committed by relatives of the woman up to the second degree
are considered pardonable.> (Government-affiliated website Ekhtebar,
April 8, 2023)
Systemic Barriers
Due to severe gender discrimination in the laws of the clerical regime,
women often find themselves trapped in marriages with abusive men.
Police are rarely willing to intervene in cases of domestic violence.
Family laws impose significant barriers to divorce for women, and even
if a woman successfully obtains a divorce, she legally loses custody of
children over the age of seven. Abused women receive minimal support
from government-affiliated organizations. In many cases, instead of
addressing the violent circumstances of these women's lives, these
organizations focus on persuading them to return to their abusive
households. (Asr Iran, November 13, 2024) A sociologist and social
psychologist explains: <Regarding homicide under the law, when a woman
is killed by her father-for example, in the case of Romina's murder by
her father-when asked why he killed his daughter instead of his son, the
father responds, 'If I had killed my son, I would have faced capital
punishment.' In the case of other men, such as husbands, execution only
occurs if the woman's family agrees to pay half the blood money (diya).>
(Alireza Sharifi Yazdi, ILNA News Agency, August 19, 2024)
A Harrowing Reality
Reliable statistics on violence against women in Iran are non-existent.
However, the Legal Medicine Organization reported that 15,764 women
sought medical attention for spousal abuse in the spring of 2024 (IRNA,
November 12, 2024). This figure likely underrepresents the true scale,
as most cases remain unreported. Recently, the murder of a female
journalist by her husband-a lawyer-reignited public outcry. Zahra
Behrooz-Azar, deputy for the Directorate for Women and Family Affairs,
called for expedited approval of the bill, echoing the regime's typical
reactionary measures. She, like her predecessors in this position,
claimed that "The bill for protecting women's security has been a
priority on the government's agenda since day one" and that "We have
requested an expedited review of this bill." (ILNA News Agency, November
13, 2024) However, such claims have proven performative. A state-run
newspaper, Etemad, wrote on November 10, 2024: "Had the government and
Parliament acted on implementing this law, today's appalling femicide
statistics could have been avoided." Earlier this year, Etemad reported
that over 150 women were killed in the first six months of 2024 by their
husbands, fathers, brothers, or other male relatives.
Experts estimate that in Iran, a woman is killed by a male relative
every four days. Meanwhile, every four minutes, a woman suffers
psychological harm-incidents that go unreported and unregistered (ILNA,
August 19, 2024).
This article illustrates the systemic failure of the Iranian regime to
protect women. The deeply ingrained misogyny in its laws perpetuates
violence, leaving countless women vulnerable and unsupported.>>
