Similar violations against women in Iran, Afghanistan, and Yemen – Details
Women in Iran suffer torture and ongoing violations of humanity, as well as repression, confinement and harassment, as is the Iranian regime’s approach of terrorizing women through its terrorist arm, the Revolutionary Guard.
Recently, women in several regions suffer ongoing violations, and violence against women and girls is the most pervasive human rights violation in the world, with women subjected to oppression and further marginalization and sometimes exploitation.
The women of Iran, Yemen and Afghanistan are the same in the constant abuses against them, their suffering is a constant symptom, all in the same oppressive approach of the IRGC.
Iran
As the Iranian popular uprising intensified, the Iranian regime’s repression increased and female activists and women are arrested as well as harassed in detention and prisons. In just months, nearly 50 women’s rights activists were arrested during the Iranian uprising, 577 of whom were registered, including 100 female student activists and “the large number of student arrests is evidence of the severity and extent of widespread repression at universities”.
Chemical attacks have also been reported against female students in 91 schools located in 20 provinces across Iran, where poisoning incidents have hospitalized hundreds of female school students. Many of their daughters were taken out of school by their parents out of fear of such attacks. Iranian women have been forced to wear headscarves since the Iranian Revolution. The girl, Mahsa Amini, who was killed by police for not wearing her full veil, was killed.
Afghanistan
In Iran’s footsteps, the Taliban began to oppress women. Women were banned from university unless they wore the hijab, wore the required clothes, and were turned away by Taliban security officers. The Taliban banned women’s university education, after girls were banned from most secondary schools, and because of violence against women, many women migrated to neighboring countries.
Houthi
The Houthi terrorist group has recently increased restrictions on the movement, movement and work of women, despite international and UN demands to lift all restrictions on Yemeni women and girls, and allow them freedom of movement, expression, health and work.
“The group’s recent escalation against Yemeni women in Sana’a and elsewhere has included assault, imposing sanctions against women, issuing arrest warrants for others, depriving others of their least rights, and committing murders and physical injuries against some women, in addition to abduction and arbitrary detention.”
