The Price of Allyship: Reza Khandan & Women’s Rights in Iran
In December 2024, human rights defender Reza Khandan was arrested at his home and taken into custody at a police station in Tehran. His crime? Advocating against Iran’s compulsory veiling laws and the death penalty. Now in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison, Reza faces a three-and-a-half-year sentence (on top of time already served) for supporting women’s rights in Iran. On January 21 at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT, join us for a panel discussion on Reza’s imprisonment, Iran’s oppressive crackdown on dissent, and the price of allyship in the fight for women’s rights and freedom of choice in Iran.

Urgent Appeal: Halt the Execution of Pakhshan Azizi
We strongly condemn the decision by the Supreme Court of Iran to confirm the death sentence for Pakhshan Azizi, social worker and women’s rights advocate. We understand that this harsh sentence is based upon fabricated evidence and torture. Pakhshan will be the first woman political prisoner being hanged in Iran in 14 Years. Sign the petition here
Global Campaign against Forced Hijab Puts Iranian Women’s Rights under Spotlight
Statement by Ukrainian Feminists in Solidarity with Iranian Women
For eight months now, Ukrainian men and women have been resisting Putin’s imperialist aggression. Iranians continue to struggle against their own dictatorial, ultraconservative regime and elite-profiting economy. Freedom for Iran! Freedom for Ukraine! All together we will win! https://femwork.org/en/fm-news/solidarity-with-iranian-women-eng/
Ukrainian Feminists
Solidarity with Ukrainian Women
We cannot let the Syria scenario continue in Ukraine. Given the direct connection which Putin himself has drawn between his invasion of Ukraine and his support of rape and misogyny, it is incumbent upon global feminist activists who are opposed to gender violence to stand up and speak out against this invasion.
Help Afghan Women
In light of the rapidly unfolding situation of the Taliban takeover in August 2021 in Afghanistan, RAWA is working with internally displaced refugees fleeing Taliban-controlled areas. Donations are being used for food, water, shelter, transportation, blankets, medicine, hygiene products and baby products.
