Description

How the massive protests in Iran are showing the multiple grievances of women, girls and people? As Iran ranks 143 out of 146 countries in the Global Gender Gap Index, is the situation of women’s rights in this country a case of gender-apartheid? Can a state with a possible gender-apartheid in place offer respect and protection of women’s lives, rights and freedoms? If so, how? If not, why?
