“Elimination of Violence against Women,” “Provision of Security for Women against Violence,” “Protection, Dignity, and Provision of Security for Ladies Against Violence,” “Protection of Dignity and Support for Women Against Violence,” and now “Preventing Women from Harm and Improving Their Security Against Abuse,” are all iterations of a single proposed bill in Iran. For more than 13 years, this bill has remained stalled. It occasionally resurfaces to pacify public opinion, only to be passed from one government body to another with no meaningful progress.

Some officials and members of the Iranian Parliament (Majlis) openly oppose the bill. For example, the Vice-Chairman of the Parliamentary Judicial Commission has declared it contrary to the mullahs’ version of Iran, claiming it weakens family foundations. Similarly, Ensieh KhazAli, former Deputy for Women and Family Affairs under Ebrahim Raisi, dismissed the bill by asserting, “Violence is not prevalent in our families.” (Mehr News Agency, August 23, 2023)

Outrageous opposition like this, laden with misogynistic rhetoric, abounds. This article focuses on exposing the clerical regime’s false claims of supporting women.
