Hi, My name is Natalia.
- 00:02 - 00:05
Behind. I'm gonna talk about contemporary issue happening all around
- 00:05 - 00:05
the world.
- 00:06 - 00:09
But it's mostly happening in Iran in its women's rights,
- 00:10 - 00:12
because this is how woman are forced to dress every
- 00:13 - 00:17
day. Covering their entire bodies with no say about Iran
- 00:17 - 00:20
has a very segregated society where women are separated for
- 00:21 - 00:23
men. In the workers, girls and boys have their own
- 00:23 - 00:26
classrooms, the woman sitting in the back of the bus
- 00:26 - 00:27
letting men go in front.
- 00:28 - 00:31
And besides the segregation yourself, every day they suffer from
- 00:32 - 00:32
violent treatment.
- 00:33 - 00:41
This law, because Iran's approach towards woman's rights in the
- 00:42 - 00:44
case, the cruelty of an authoritarian when they just government
- 00:45 - 00:48
towards the fundamental liberties of a minority lacking equality inside
- 00:48 - 00:52
of Iran because women aren't treated as equals in this
- 00:53 - 00:57
country. But they weren't always treated this badly because here's
- 00:57 - 00:59
a photo of the 19 seventies by PV as well.
- 01:00 - 01:02
Woman were actually out in the streets without a job,
- 01:03 - 01:05
and there are many historical events that led to.
- 01:07 - 01:10
But this was in the probably error from 1925 to
- 01:10 - 01:13
1979 where education for both genders was free.
- 01:14 - 01:17
1963 woman gained the right to vote and run for
- 01:17 - 01:21
parliament. The family protection laws established and woman can petition
- 01:21 - 01:23
for divorce and being child custody.
- 01:24 - 01:26
They can also report domestic violence with a trial.
- 01:27 - 01:30
So when we're actually getting the respect they wanted in
- 01:30 - 01:34
their society two million woman wearing the work folks in
- 01:34 - 01:37
the photo to the right from 1969 baby parts times
- 01:38 - 01:40
we can see the woman were actually going to sail,
- 01:40 - 01:46
etc. But it all changed in the 1979 Revolution, when
- 01:46 - 01:51
a new leader, Ayatollah Lock many establishes a theocracy that
- 01:51 - 01:56
gave priority to Islamic tradition over contemporary ideas and took
- 01:56 - 01:59
all of the five decades that would have made in
- 01:59 - 02:00
progress and White.
- 02:00 - 02:03
His first act was to remove the family protection, which
- 02:04 - 02:05
only protect a woman.
- 02:06 - 02:07
All women were forced to wear the hijab.
- 02:07 - 02:11
It all times in the few one government decisions were
- 02:11 - 02:12
purged from them.
- 02:12 - 02:16
Here's a picture of the 1979 Revolution, My ologists era,
- 02:17 - 02:20
where there showing us.
- 02:21 - 02:22
I like women.
- 02:23 - 02:27
After the 1979 Revolution woman were seen outside of their
- 02:27 - 02:30
homes. We thought that job were sent to prison and
- 02:30 - 02:32
harshly punish domestic violence for women.
- 02:33 - 02:35
It increases and when are harassed and abused in the
- 02:36 - 02:39
streets. Human are paid less than men, and a woman
- 02:40 - 02:41
cannot attend the same schools.
- 02:43 - 02:47
So woman were harshly discriminated after this revolution.
- 02:51 - 02:55
And here's a picture in 2020 by Business Insider where
- 02:55 - 02:58
people are still going out in the streets to protest
- 02:58 - 02:59
for women's rights.
- 02:59 - 03:07
Besides the coronavirus out, according to the Library of Congress,
- 03:08 - 03:10
Woman and I ran like the right of inheritance because
- 03:11 - 03:14
they can only receive 1/2 of the inheritance men get
- 03:15 - 03:17
they, like the right to transfer citizenship because he ran
- 03:18 - 03:19
a woman, are not able to translate nationality.
- 03:20 - 03:20
Two years blasts.
- 03:22 - 03:25
They like the right to gender equality because in the
- 03:26 - 03:29
Constitution of Iran in Article 20 it's strictly limits women's
- 03:30 - 03:33
rights according to the principles of Islam and insurers that
- 03:33 - 03:36
every dialogue about women's rights must be understood in its
- 03:36 - 03:37
religious context.
- 03:38 - 03:41
I mean, that women's rights can, when you can be
- 03:41 - 03:45
manipulated to sit into the Islamic religion in woman left.
- 03:46 - 03:48
The protection against abuse and domestic violence because I ran
- 03:49 - 03:52
currently has no law in that preventing domestic violence and
- 03:52 - 03:54
protecting woman victims of violence.
- 03:55 - 03:57
This was written by Barry Lerner in the library of
- 03:57 - 04:03
comes the Center for Human Rights, an organization that speaks
- 04:03 - 04:06
out for my Nouri's Speaks Out for would have been
- 04:06 - 04:08
abused, harassed and beaten in their own homes.
- 04:09 - 04:12
The violent treatment of ruin arond happens more often than
- 04:12 - 04:14
realist, and there is no public awareness of the problem.
- 04:15 - 04:18
The government works really hard to hide it, and it
- 04:18 - 04:22
makes the problem a lot larger than it actually is
- 04:22 - 04:22
in Iran.
- 04:23 - 04:25
Society makes it harder for one to speak out against
- 04:25 - 04:29
domestic violence because a woman can file a report for
- 04:29 - 04:31
divorce under the grounds that she was a victim.
- 04:32 - 04:34
But she's forced to stay with a husband and a
- 04:35 - 04:35
considered to re period.
- 04:37 - 04:39
If the woman gets the divorce, she will not get
- 04:39 - 04:40
any financial support.
- 04:41 - 04:44
And Ken most like we lose her Children to her
- 04:44 - 04:46
husband in court and on the photo to the right,
- 04:47 - 04:52
we can see how woman are treated by their violent
- 04:53 - 04:55
husbands inside of the home, and this isn't the case
- 04:56 - 04:58
for every woman, but it's the case for a lot
- 04:58 - 04:59
of woman in it.
- 05:03 - 05:06
So all the evidence proves that the authoritarian religious system
- 05:07 - 05:09
of government has successfully made its people of a lower
- 05:09 - 05:13
leaders with fear because they use violence to promote you.
- 05:14 - 05:16
No people have grown to resent them and try to
- 05:16 - 05:16
make a change.
- 05:17 - 05:19
Since the government has taken so much away from them,
- 05:20 - 05:22
they're afraid to lose more and be coercive twenties Every
- 05:23 - 05:25
day. The population suffers from a violation of their human
- 05:26 - 05:27
rights and forced by their own use.
- 05:29 - 05:30
Thank you for listening.
- 05:30 - 05:34
I hope this can raise public awareness over huge problem
- 05:34 - 05:36
happening it one of the country's.
- 05:37 - 05:39
Because it's very sad how a minority is truth.
- 05:41 - 05:41
This is my work site.
- 05:42 - 05:43
Thank you.
