Humiliating psychological punishments to crush women’s dignity
Women’s participation in October protests
Women’s active participation in all the protests in the month of October, and their leading role at the forefront of the demonstrations underlined women’s impact on the anti-government movement in Iran.
The largest number of protests were staged by plundered people whose savings and deposits have been looted by state-backed financial institutes. They staged sit-ins for consecutive days in the capital and various cities. Women took part even with their children at their side.
On October 23, thousands of plundered people from cities across the country converged in Tehran and marched towards the mullahs’ parliament where they demanded to have their money back.
The social atmosphere was extremely volatile in the month of October. Women actively participated at the forefront of at least 89 protests in this month. Compared to the 27 protests in September, this shows more than a three-fold increase. And compared to the average number of monthly protests last year (8.5), it shows more than a ten-fold increase.
Based on the data collected and registered by the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, women participated in at least 32 protest demonstrations by looted people, 19 by teachers and 16 by students.
