NCRI - Poverty among Iranian women has become so prevalent that state media and officials are referring to it as ‘feminine poverty’, a term which now has turned commonplace.
With nearly four decades past since the Iranian regime’s coming to power, poverty among people, including women, is still commonplace and even catastrophic among female-headed households.
State-run Shargh newspaper reports on October 13 on the situation in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province’s rural areas, acknowledging parts of the disaster taking place under the Iranian regime.
Below is part of the state-run newspaper’s report:
With a poor financial status, Zyadi Pouramir, 45, lives with her two sons. Her husband died four years ago at the age of 85 due to a heart attack.
Golshan Zaman, 40, has seven children. Her husband has vision-related problems and is unable to work, so Golshan is single-handedly responsible for the children.
Kobra Bidarkhoo is 29. Her husband committed suicide three years ago due to poverty-related psychological issues. Kobra now lives with his three sons, with their only source of income coming from a relief foundation and cash subsidy payments.
