Gender Apartheid: Iranian Women & the Struggle for Freedom

Description:

The women of Iran in many ways have become both an interesting and heartbreaking case as to why gender apartheid is real and how it does damage to not only women but to their society as a whole. There is a very apparent timeline showcasing their fight for freedoms, their fight for equitable opportunities, and equality in civil matters as well. One strategy to share the importance of gender equity, is to walk through a timeline of how the women of Iran slowly lost many freedoms they enjoyed prior to 1979, to highlight their fight for these freedoms, and to show the impacts of these losses.
