Abstract
By 1975, the WOI had made measurable progress throughout Iran: its classes were giving women marketable skills; women were earning more after graduating; its childcare centers helped children learn healthy habits; families accepted the centers as safe, helpful places; and women came together to discuss their lives and challenges. The WOI’s greatest success was passing the 1975 Family Protection Law, which increased and safeguarded women’s rights: increasing the minimum marriage age for women from fifteen to eighteen; increasing women’s rights to guardianship of her children; giving women some rights to divorce; and restricting the husband’s right to multiple wives. The Law’s annulment as Ayatollah Khomeini’s first decree after his return demonstrated the centrality of the status of women to the fundamentalists’ fury. In 1975 the WOI organized a successful international women’s film festival in Tehran, highlighting different strategies for changing women’s unequal status. The Iranian delegation played a prominent role in the UN’s 1975 World Conference on Women, which led to developing national plans of action, setting targets to achieve women’s full participation in development, and initiating the International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women and the Regional Center for Training and Research on Women and Development.
