Female activists: Current situation in Iran is feminist revolution against regime

The women’s rights movements and protests in Iran have shed light on reality of rights and freedoms in the Arab world and Middle East. Tunisia is a pioneer in enacting laws that guarantee freedom of expression and women’s rights, however, rights and freedoms still lack sufficient support and efforts. Women’s rights activists believe movements in Iran may be a step towards opening the door to more rights and freedoms for women in Arab countries and the Middle East.
