Women's fraction


The Women's fraction (Persian: فراکسیون زنان) is a cross-factional all-female parliamentary group in the Iranian Parliament which advocates Women's rights in Iran.[1]

In 1996, a commission was established for Women, Youth and Family Affairs in the Parliament, headed by Marzieh Vahid-Dastjerdi. However, it included some male members.[2] In 2000, female representatives created a fraction designated for women.[3]
