Friends of Successful Families
Association
. This report respectfully is a review
of the status of women and girls in Iran
by the Friends of Successful Families
Association.According to our researches
we have concluded that although the
Islamic Republic of Iran in the past years,
particularly 2010 onwards, made all
sided attempts to promote the status and
character of women, and strengthening
the family, nevertheless the subject of
the promotion of the status of women
is a debatable subject which requires
further attention.
This report reviews the participation
of NGOs for the elimination of the
increase in the age of marriage for
girls, the remaining single problems,
promotion of women and girls status,
and the scientific and educational and
capacities promotion, and ultimately
this Association gives recommendations
for Iran to move towards the elimination
of this problem and answerability to the
presented recommendations in the first
round of the UPR on the country.
Some of these recommendations are:
a) Request the Iranian government to
further pay attention to the Constitution,
and the Rights and Responsibilities
of Muslim Women’s Charter, and the
Perspective Document.
b) Interaction and the use of the
experiencesofinternationalorganizations
and other countries’ NGOs.
c)Trainingof governmentalmanpower
and also public consensus for better
understanding of the status of women
and girls.
d) Removal of obstacles in the way
of young people getting married and
encouragement to start families.
