Women Message on 8th of March 2022–on the occasion of International Women Day! The socio-economic situation of women in Iran is catastrophic, under the capitalist Islamic Republic. The Islamic Republic by institutionalizing anti-women Sharia-Islamic laws, imposing capitalist genderdiscriminationagainst women including, such as, abortion, forced Hijab, polygamy, child brides, women’s travel restriction, second class citizens, second sex status, returning of women to corner of their home(kitchen), depriving them of employment, and certain occupations like judging, or Hijab’s law, economically dependent on men, sports restriction, stopping women entering sports stadiums, restrictions on performing, singing and music, restrictions on choosing certain university courses, inheritance, unable to be custodians, witness (two women equal to one man), different kinds of socio-cultural discriminations, increased violence and repression against them, institutionalization of men’s control over women’s lives, and patriarchy has created increasing inequality in women’s lives in Iran. The consequences of such laws for Iranian women have been stoning, spraying acid, and all kinds of injuries, honor killings, suicide and legal murder of women. Working women have been at the forefront of unemployment due to the crisis of capitalism and Covid-19. The unemployed women who don’t receive any government’ protection, are exposed to a variety of Social harms, like drug addiction and prostitution. The working women are also paid less than their men co-workers under the same conditions and the severity of exploitation is greater on them. Women were among the first social groups who came to the streets and reacted to the imposedreactionary religious laws of the capitalist Islamic regime in Iran. After this, Women’s resistance and struggle in various forms against the capitalist Islamic government over the four decades, has been a golden leaf in the history of the women’s movement. Women have protested and struggled against their unequal conditions and situations on a daily basis; Women’ protests have been in the forefront of the uprisings of 2017 and 2019, with the significant mass uprisings of the Ahwaz’ people, Baluchistan and Isfahan, in which they have demonstrated the strong potential of their struggles. The protests of militant women and freedom fighters against all kinds of inequality at work, education, factory, in school and university, and on the streets in the struggle against tyranny and exploitation, which are increasing every day and their colorful and active presence in social movements of workers, teachers, retirees and in defense of political and social freedom is admirable. It is no coincidence, that a large proportion of political and civil prisoners in Iran are women activists. The policy of global capitalism over past few decades has attacked ruthlessly the historical social achievements of mankind, and women have been at the forefront of such attacks. The reliance of the world capitalism on Islamic reaction in Middle – East, and the existence of the Islamic government in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq and Turkey, have been the consequence of world capitalist policy towards securing the interests of capital. Women’s potential in the Middle – East has shownthat if it organizes, they can form an actual social force that can paly a decisive role in the anti-capitalist movement, and push back the ruling policies. Women’s struggle, if organized, can become a powerful movement, that could play a decisive role in the struggle of the working class against capitalism, for achievement of the human goals of society, and in the first place the emancipation of women.
