Women's Rights in Iran

To raise awareness of the outdated cultural laws imposed on women
in Iran . Think seriously about banning IRAN from any future international
events until IRAN change their outdated views about equal rights and freedom of movement for women.

Why is this important?

A young woman last week committed suicide [set herself on fire] while waiting for her court case rather than face six months in prison . Her crime - attending a football match.
This is not allowed in Iran. So too is for women to sing solo or dance on their own. There are many other rules in Iran that disallow women equal rights .
