In July, Abdolahad Rigi, the head of the  Sistan and Baluchestan  Rural Water and Sewage Company, said almost  half of the province (2,868 villages) lacked water supply networks  and that they needed 2,000 billion tomans to rectify this.

Suppressing Female Street Vendors in Iran - a Manifestation of Double Repression of Women 21 OCTOBER 2019   EMPTY By Jubin Katiraie Increased street peddling by women in Iran is the result of the catastrophic economic situation and the spread of poverty, analysts say. Peddling is not an official job but the result of an ailing and bankrupt economy which is due to corruption in the Iranian government. The Iranian government’s economic policy has led to a large part of the middle class falling into poverty. The situation is worse for women who are mainly housewives and have no income, so they are forced to go on the streets and work as peddlers. Hard-working women who are always subject to persecution and even insults by government officials are forced to accept these things in order to earn a little something for their families. According to state media and Iran’s officials, many of these women...

Allowing women into the football stadium; “A cynical public stunt” Written by  Mahmoud Hakamian  on  10 October 2019 . The heartbreaking death of  Sahar Khodayari  dubbed as Blue Girl, who self-immolated after facing a six-month jail term for attending a soccer match, was the latest incident highlighting the tragic plight of Iranian women in Iran under the rule of the misogynous theocracy. Sahar’s death created a firestorm, compelling the mullahs to temporarily backtrack. Facing tremendous outside pressure, even being thrown out of FIFA, the Iranian regime finally caved in and allowed a limited number of women into Tehran’s Azadi Stadium to watch the match between Iran and Cambodia. Fearful of the consequences of women’s presence in the stadium, however, officials limited the number of tickets sold to women.  Only four sections of the stadium, totaling around 3,500 seats, were allocated to women. Azadi Stadium has a capacity of around 78,000 sea...
