NCRI Women's Committee
We work extensively with Iranian women outside the country and maintain a permanent contact with women inside Iran. The Women’s Committee is actively involved with many women’s rights organizations and NGO’s and the Iranian diaspora. The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women. Attending UN Human Rights Council meetings and other international or regional conferences on women’s issues, and engaging in a relentless battle against the Iranian regime’s misogyny are part of the activities of members and associates of the committee.

Episode 1
We’re talking about political prisoner Maryam Akbari Monfared. On December 29, as the world was celebrating Christmas and the New Year, she marked the end of her 13th year in prison for seeking justice for her siblings executed by the Iranian regime in the 1980s. Maryam had been imprisoned in the women’s ward of Evin Prison until the 9th of March 2021, when she was violently brought out of her cell and banished to Semnan. She is the only political prisoner in the women’s ward of Semnan Prison that she describes as a “hell.” She sent a letter from this prison.
