A discussion between two prominent women scholars, Dr Farhamandpur and Dr Ardabili, about the challenges and opportunities surrounding women's roles in contemporary Iranian society. The conversation focuses on the tension between women's participation in public life and the traditional family values in the Islamic Republic. Dr Farhamandpur argues that the Islamic Revolution initially opened up unprecedented opportunities for women but has not been fully realised due to a failure to adapt traditional structures and understand women's experiences in the contemporary world. Dr Ardabili, on the other hand, highlights the importance of developing new structures and models for women’s participation that acknowledge their multifaceted roles within society while ensuring their full integration into the national fabric. Both scholars stress the urgent need for more excellent female representation in decision-making positions and for creating more inclusive social structures to empower women and realise their full potential.
