The Alliance of Iranian Women's Mission is to bring the voice of the Iranian women living under the Khomeinist regime's Sharia Laws, to the Western democracies.

​Iranian women have never relented to oppression and have stood steadfast in the face of gender apartheid, to attain their equal and human rights. The women of Iran want to be heard by their sisters in the West and call on them to support them in their fight to separate politics from the issue of women and children’s rights.
 
We are dedicated to compiling, vetting and disseminating information and documentation on crimes committed by the Islamic regime officials, against the women and children of Iran.

​Ultraconservative Ayatollah Raises Alarm Over 'Danger' ​To Hijab

Fact Sheet

Iran is sentencing children and teenagers to death

Girls as young as nine can be sentenced to execution; for boys it’s 15. At least 73 young offenders were executed between 2005 and 2015. And the authorities show no sign of stopping this horrific practice.

We have the details of 49 people on Iran’s death row who were under 18 at the time of the crime they are alleged to have committed. The UN says there are at least 160 such people facing execution in the country. In fact, there are likely to be many more young offenders on Iranian death rows, as use of capital punishment in Iran is often shrouded in secrecy. Read More

Gender Politics Under Sharia Law

Until Victory​​​

Recently in Tehran, at a peaceful gathering of all those protesting against the Khomeiniist Regime’s rampant violation of human rights, and demanding the unconditional release of all political prisoners in Iran, a lady bravely took off her head scarf and spoke out against the brutality of the Mullah rule, but also contended that Iran had been well on its way to a bright and modern future. She says:

Woman in pink coat w/hoodie: “They (Khomeiniist regime authorities) themselves are the actual (drug) smuggler; our children are not the smugglers! Anyhow, if a person grows up to be a thief or smuggler, it is in this country that they are raised. We are all children of the Shah’s era. I was at an Showkat-Malek Jahanbani school from age 4. Why do they kidnap Ms. FarrokhrooParsa stuffed in sack and kidnapped? Why should they stone her?

Male voice: “Praises be upon you!” Read More

History of a Movement

120 years of struggle for dignity

In the late 1800’s Iranian women were the main force behind the constitutional movement and the subsequent revolution. The Qajar dynasty’s kings (1799 – 1925) sat idly by and allowed the intrusion of the British and Russian political and economic domination; Russia in the north, Britain in the south.

On top of which, debts to Britain incurred for war indemnities as well as the expenses of various royal frivolities, led to payoff type concessions to Britain; the 1872 Reuter concession to build a railroad and the 1890 concession on tobacco, and the 1901 William D'Arcy concession on oil were made, to name a few.

These concessions exacerbated by tax-free foreign merchandise, which saturated the Iranian market, pushed Iranian economy to near collapse and brought everything to a fever pitch.​ Read More

Economic Injustice

Prostitution before and after the revolution

Tehran’s pre-revolution red light district, Shahr’eh No (New Town) was set on fire and demolished during the crazed days of the 1979 Islamic revolution. Many of the prostitutes were brutally murdered by the Khomeinists who before and after the arrival of their leader, killed indiscriminately. The prostitutes who survived those frenetic days, repented and joined the ranks of the Iranian regime in order to protect themselves from execution or punishment. ​The Islamic regime considers brothels to be illegal and prostitution a criminal act and depending on the gender of the person operating the brothel; it can carry a sentence of anywhere between one and ten years imprisonment. Now, over 35 years later, prostitutes are scattered all over Iran. Though there are no official figures, it was estimated that that in 2005, 300,000 women worked on the streets of Tehran. On Motahari Street, in the wealthy northern part of the city, the price for an hour of sex ranges from $30-80 USD. Read More
