Life For Women In Iran

[baileybrighton]

I don't understand the Shari'ah interpretation which legislates the way women dress - certainly women are equally important & capable individuals. If men are truly honourable surely they do not need women to dress a certain way to protect their (a mans) honour. They should cultivate this within themselves. Shari'ah law should RESPECT honour of men & women alike, instead of suggesting that men/ women need a law to protect them from one another, assuming that most are dishnourable to begin with.

[jebus0000000]

I have a female friend who lives in Iran, very intelligent and educated young woman and she constatnly complains how she hates life in Iran and how unfree she feels not just as a woman but in general so I'm not buying all this stupid propaganda about how great life in Iran is!

[KyuuMayCry]

@jebus0000000

Nobody said life is all great in Iran. I guess you're having an argument with yourself. they're here showing that women in Iran are respected, educated and are able to complain and prove themselves as an important part in the society on contrast to some other Islamic countries.

[SoberAllmanBrosFan]

I'm an American wrestler. My Persian friend, from university, tells me Iran is obsessed with wrestling. This intrigued me until he told me of 3rd type of wrestling: man-man naked wrestling! Only men allowed to watch & participate. gross, I know. Unless you're gay, which is fine unless you're in Iran. No wonder there's such denial of homosexuality in Iran. Their book forbids it while creating an environment that breeds gay sex, better than DC or San Fransisco.

[wizardtech1]

Ooooo bitches have to wear berkas that's not that bad at least they don't starve and get sent to labor camps like women in north Korea

[BoneBeast]

fuck the regime

[KyuuMayCry]

@BoneBeast

True, but then again, all regimes aren't perfect.

[TheSassanidImmortal]

I don't understand why some of those women who wear the chador try to cover themselves up, they're already butt ugly with mustaches anyway! No average Iranian or man  man would want them! Thank God that REAL PERSIAN women are doing everything they can to express their beauty.

[ktintin2010]

the media always make it sound sooo bad.

at least iranian women cover their hair shows self respect.

[kissemurra12]

over the age of 8? are muslims attracted to 8 year olds? or 12 year olds?

[Amandalx21]

we shouldn't judge them. we just see and don't physically experience their lifestyle so who are we to judge. some of them are happy just the way it is. i have muslim friends and they choose to follow their religion respectfully and enjoy it so it's their choice

[PrincessSpearmint]

I beg to differ eye. Americans don't torture their people. I think that the treatment

of muslims is wrong.

Covering yourself must be hard, there are some very beautiful women there,

nobody is allowed to see it, what a waste. It's terrible.

[eyeswithhope]

Pfft... I'm an Iranian woman and I can tell you we are treated with way more respect than women in America. Wow ignorant Americans would believe anything that doesn't insult their own country. All propaganda bull shit. The only difference with Iranian women is that we have guts and fight back, which is why men respect us. Don't mess with Persian women.

[jcoade05]

@eyeswithhope is that why cover yourself in sheets, not have meaningful careers, be beaten or killed for not doing what your man says and just overall being a second class citizen? I have no respect at all for cowardly hajiis who won't fight for their own freedom, you might as well be dead. Go live your life based on a fairytale written thousands of years ago.

[eyeswithhope]

@jcoade05

1.The "sheets" are our choice, and part of our religion, we CHOOSE to wear them.

2.My mom's a neurosurgeon in Iran, so I don't understand what you mean by no meaningful careers.

3.rape and abuse is highest in America. We don't get beaten, my dad or uncles wouldn't dare hurt a woman.

4.You don't have any freedom, you're sheep to media, I don't care if you have respect for us, why would I need the respect of an ignorant person?

5.Wishing death on a group of people? Low, even for you.

[jcoade05]

@eyeswithhope Do you ever go to the hangings of homosexuals? Or how about the hangings of people who don't agree with the government? I have no freedom? I'm free to live life without the constraints of a religion that does nothing more than promote hate. And I never wished death to anyone, you should re-read my comment. And a female Iranian neurosurgeon she must have a booming business ahhaha.

[nsekh085]

SEGREGATED society, litearlly segregated...wat a barbaric idea!

[Jesuslily]

This is absurd.. so women should be thankful because they can go to school in Iran? Progress? These women reporters are women-haters. Women have half the witness-status as men, women are not allowed to ask for divorce, women cant be judges, men can kill women for suspicion of infidelity and not be punished, the men can beat their wives if they refuse sex, and the list goes on and on... These women have their eyes closed. They disgrace all women when they choose to close their eyes. Sickening!

[ninuxy]

Horseshit, women go in larger numbers to universities but they get jobs, or related jobs, 5 times "less" than men.

It's like American before the Civil Rights bill where blacks could participate in election but the society prevented them to be engaged.

Women are treated like dirt when it comes to government. Recently, my cousin listened to a woman whose husband died and her brother-in-law took his business. When she went to court, the judge asked her to make herself "available" to him.

[aghahesam]

haleh joon , you look good

[vaneztax]

It is so sad that this is the 21st century and women still being treated as an object not real person with equal rights.

[TheFestivelights]

0.40 - Don't they look happy? What the hell is going on there? Nothing beats having a beer with your mates on a summer's day and watching all the long-legged beauties strut their stuff in jean shorts. If this is Islam, you can keep it.

[nippletease]

persian women r fuckn kickass .. only muslim women who actually have balls n fight back

[nothadnotbad]

these people are sick and need to be nuked. they are living shit!

[desiguy55]

yea prisons are wonderful aren't they?? , you get 3 meals a day and a roof over your head, what more can anyone possible need??

[crazyfabio1]

2:51 such beautiful girl

[shivathecat123]

These rules and sharia laws are ARAB tribal traditions. Persians created one of the greatest civilizations the world has ever known. Their language, poetry, art and intellectual spirit has always been under attack by Islam. They should say to hell with Arab religion and rules and go back to the the brilliant and compassionate belief system of their ancestors, Zoroastrianism. The Persians are amazing people and won't be subjugated by silly foreign peasant ideas forever.

[marklvrd]

its because they are wearing black, people just don't respect black.

[LibertarianPersian]

Fuck this islam, after upcoming overthrowing this fucked up islamic regime you will see how ppl will throw this shit out

[Jullzzzz]

its bullshit

allah doesnt give a shit what you wear.

muslims are making allah mad for not showing there true body that allah have gave them

[CurlyFries120]

first of all the Qurran states that women arent allowed out of the house with a man if she does she'll be killed. if she looks at a stranger she will be killed. women arent even supose to show their face the whole body has to be covered. dumb fucks.

[Longlivepalestine]

@CurlyFries120

Your statements are incredibly inaccurate and reflective of typical anti-Muslim bigotry that plagues the 21st century. No where in the Quran does it state the aforementioned.

In Islam, all but the face and hands are covered. Secondly, women are allowed equal rights to work, vote, serve in office, etc etc.

Over 50% of the university professors in Iran are women. The percentage of educated women is higher in Iran than the United States.

[thekingblaa]

@Longlivepalestine And those 50% of 'educated' women are still terrorised into wearing blankets over their heads. Great country.

[SoldatSolutrea]

Females in Persia have a much lower risk of being raped or assaulted by a very significant percentage compared to Western ZOG nations, thank goodness. I wouldn't be surprised if this were partially due to the Iranian gov't.

[DaniellefromChile]

@SoldatSolutrea Also they have a lower dignity to people in the ZOG nation they are a lot more unhappy since they are considerate like a second class people, Bullshit

[74gore]

@SoldatSolutrea

still, if any man wants to rape u, they can do it just as easy as they can do to any women. what im disagreeing and pissed off is that covering yourself is a LAW and RULE. if women wants to fully cover themselves, they should feel free to do so.

women are being treated unfair BECAUSE of some religion, why cant we just all be secular??

[deadcell1]

@74gore You know what else pisses me off? Is a goverment that forces me to taxes so they can use the money to give goverment benefits to illegals.

[74gore]

@deadcell1

sorry deadcell, no government is perfect...they never will, and polititians are all basically the same, getting sneakier everyday

[Mrgoodoverevil]

@SoldatSolutrea Females in Iran get stoned.

[Mrgoodoverevil]

@SoldatSolutrea Females in Iran get raped then married to a cleric before there execution... To make it legal.

[Metalmanmania357]

@Mrgoodoverevil  Is this a true statrment? If so, it shocks and saddens me! All women are Mothers, Daughters, Sisters and worthy of nothing but kindness, love and respect!

[MrBrational]

@SoldatSolutrea Unequal value for women's testimony compared to that of a man, and traditional attitudes towards women's behavior and clothing as a way of explaining rape have made conviction for rape of women difficult if not impossible in Iran. One widely criticized case was that of Atefah Sahaaleh, who was executed by the state for 'inappropriate sexual relations', despite evidence she was most probably a rape victim.

[dafffffffffy]

@SoldatSolutrea shut the f up

[cbluver22]

Why do they have to wear black? lol, that has nothing to do with Islam.

[Longlivepalestine]

Such biased reporting...Iran treats its women in such a unique and respectful manner.

[thekingblaa]

@Longlivepalestine if you're a man. What unadulterated rubbish. Biased reporting? Women with blankets over their heads?

[CurlyFries120]

@Longlivepalestine if you say that you must be one of those idiot islamic jerkoff men. Go fuck yourself you dirty piece of shit.

[KLSeba]

@Longlivepalestine

you mean like here ? watch?v=3zYKlSeIbrw&feature=re­lated

Arrest of Iranian girl for not wearing head scarf properly ! April 2007 Tehran

And hundreds of other you tube videos showing how women are treated in Iran ?

Yes, I guess all the videos is the Jewish and west conspiracy.

lol

[nsekh085]

@Longlivepalestine i dont think PERSIANS mistreat them as people! its the govt etc. Iran is the only future of the Islamic youth in this world.

[PersianQueenz]

@Longlivepalestine Iranians YES - government NO !! 

[TrueIran1]

@PersianQueenz 1)Iranian yes_Freedom YES _Islam YES_ NO government NO

[DAdZor]

@Longlivepalestine

No offense man but it's like you guys are homosexuals, you keep those women dressed up in those bed sheets it's ridiculous.

[Kool92cv]

@Longlivepalestine How do you know that if you live in Palestine. YOU are biased.

[maximusndb1]

@Longlivepalestine fuck u

[sceptiquele]

@Longlivepalestine

I'M sure you wanted to say Iranian men beat their women in such a unique and respectful manner.

[UnderDog988]

@Longlivepalestine you know nothing about women in iran...

[thrashgresionband]

beatiful girls

[preanca]

There is nothing wrong with providing women with separate carriages in trains. They have the same rules in Mumbai, India. It is for the safety of women. Personally, I feel a lot more safer travelling in a carriage for women. Yes, some would agree that treatment of women in Iran is a bit too harsh. But it seems to me that this report is making a big deal out of nothing. People need to understand that different parts of the world have different cultures that are different to yours.

[818doodooroo]

im iranian and in iran, women are treated like 3rd class, below animals..

[nilo723]

Iran is the best country!

[augusthorstmann]

iranian girls are sexier than white cheese ireland girls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and in ireland most of them do porns at 14years old ... or at this age ireland girls already have a baby ! funny shit )))))))))))))))))))

[thekingblaa]

@augusthorstmann Irish women don't wear blankets over their heads. Irish women are free to do what they please. Irish women will not be stoned to death. Irish women can attend any sports events. Irish women are free to wear what they want. Iranian women are subjugated and treated like subhumans.

[yael2221]

Can't believe women live like that on this days...

Unbelievable..

[silverpizza100]

where are all these human rights violations Hillary clinton is going crazy over. I like Iran. Its their system and it is changing over time. I dont think we should tell others how to live. We use to burn woman at the stake for being witches in the USA. We also hung people for the color of their skin. You have to allow change to happen.

[LittlePinky82]

The women of Iran are brave and I so admire their strength. The women should at least have the choice. And what about the people who don't believe in Islam?

[turningundead]

dude.. these iranian chicks are hot man these iranian man must be faggs ide let all thoughs chicks run naked iff i was there leader

[MrBananito5]

@turningundead

call me when you get married and have children

i would like to run excited behind your naked 17 yo daughters.

Dont you mind, right? you are very open mind.

XD

[turningundead]

@MrBananito5 ummm what the fuck is your problem i was just saying that some of these iranian girls are hot and i would let them run around in a bikini or naked W.E dont be soo arrogant

[MrBananito5]

@turningundead

am i the arrogant?

how about bringing that kind of happiness to your own daughters at a tender age.

I mean under your own metrics that's supposed to be a good thing.

[KLSeba]

@MrBananito5

Don't mind naked at all. Personally encourage my daughter to have some sexual experience before she gets married. I don't want to see her sexually frustrated because her future retard husband can't fulfill her properly.

Especially when comes to muslim man, most of them are poor and selfish lovers.

[farzinfarzad]

omg i went to iran ppl re alot happier in iran than in europ... most ppl in europe are depressed and sorrow and women in iran has more power in the society than the women in europe.. however i cannot generalise the whole country but i got this view by visit iran 3 times.... for us many westeners freedom is how you look of the outisde not of the inside.... for instance in ireland most girls re beautiful and sexy but they re no wise enough to have a conversation with

[molezay]

@farzinfarzad So go to live in iran if u think iran is better the irland and girls are happier in iran than in Irland.If u go iran to eat cholokebab with money u get from europe,that's fine but belive me lot of people in iran specialy yong generation are depressed,no money,no job,no future specialy after the post-election!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[farzinfarzad]

@molezay i assume ur talking because of your own personal experiences iranians inside iran are much happier than iranians abroad trust me i met many iranians who were sick of living such a standard western life and went back to iran after 20 25 years and built a happy life and abt me i ll go 2 iran and marry an iranian girl one day hopefully and be happy in iran and then die lolz...

[graceman25]

Dont waste your time explaining to the haters, they have no idea what its about. They want to believe something and thats all there is to it. They believe women in Iran are oppressed because they want to, and if a woman from Iran trys to explain that she enjoys being loved as someones wife they would dismiss her as brianwashed or some other such nonsense.

[vitalodion]

life in iran sure does suck...

[hoorshad75]

@vitalodion have you ever even visited iran that you comment on a country like that im a iranian and i moved to canada but i think people in iran are actuly happier than people in canada maby im wrong but thats what i think we iranians may not like the goverment but we love are country and we are people who there country was someday one the world's biggest and strongest country's...

[waybec102]

In the end all reglion favours men, because all religions were made up by men! Equality doesn't exist when pricks act like dicks!

[MrTylersm]

OMG...I feel so sorry for these women to put up with stupid bullshit rules which probably some pig headed bastard made up. but these women are strong and powerful for having to live like that!! And for everyone who believes in this laws are just as pathetic....

[alacott]

They sould privately interview the men. I would be very curious to know how the men of Iran really feel about the way the women are treated.

[gecelifetube]

MubashirSH you are talking so muc nonsense! We are talking about not covering our heads! Who is talking about short skirts ???? In Iran you are forced to cover your head!!!!! You are forced to wear this black Hijab! I respect those women woho wear the hijab, but there sholud be no preasure! Do you think you can make people love Islam by forcing them to cover their heads???? I dont think so!

[smok3shah]

Women are forbidden to show their body parts to public. No one has rights to speak or pass comments about other religion. We Muslims are happy the way we live. Alhamdulillah. Bad muslims are ones who do not follow the way he/she is suppose to ...

There are so many reason of following this practice of wearing hijab.

As a Muslim we respect Women. Women has rights which no one denies.... and islam always teach us to respect women. PEACE TO ALL...

[daffy0011]

thank you SuperKavkaz... you get the point... some iranians are religious, others are not, all we want is the freedom to choose! if we had this freedom, iran wouldn't be so perverted as it is today. people are rebelling against religion because it's force onto them. the authorities have created a very non-islamic generation with their so called islamic republic.

[9084776499]

omg =[ poor woman i feel so bad really...how can u live...u hav to see life in america nd europe =D so much fun

[punkkimiko]

geeze i couldnt live like that

[SuperKavkaz]

i'm muslim , but i'm against covering and hijab.

Covering depands on human desire.

You can't simply make someone ware hijab and covering her face.

That's not fair

[MubashirSH]

Peace on You !

If you are against of Covering then your are against Sayeda Khadeeja Kubra (SA) Sayeda Fatima Zehra (SA) Sayeda Zainab Kubra (SA) Sayeda Sukaina (SA) & Sayeda Mariyam (SA) (MOTHER OF JESUS CHRIST), May ALLAH Peace upon them ALL, Ameen !

[shitonMOHAMMAD]

piss be upon those whores and shit upon mo-ham-MAD the child molester son of a whore lunatic

[italo43]

we are not against it exactly, we are against it when they are forced to do it, because some girls do it because they wish to

[MubashirSH]

They are the Ladies and Queens of Heavens & they Are the most modern Ladies of their times and modernism reflect by education by confidence not my Short skirts, but these Highly Modest & Respectful ladies took Hijab and covered themselves i don't know then why your are "Against" covering yourselves, that means you are against these Mostly Respectfull Ladies.

Peace on you & your Family Again,

But think about that !

[IAmThePartyCrasher]

It's like the sports cap law in US courthouses. This shit is archaic and ridiculous. No use for it.

[javanejoonam]

BS ask iranian women if they feel equal to men. Most will say NO.

Forced hejab, worth 1/2 of mans value, few legal rights. this = equality ???? only in the weak minds of those who make up the rules to benefit themselves.

[littlemisshijabi]

how the hell was that a apek? it was clearly a building she wasn't allowed in.

[PersianPaladin]

Yes, women are open holes for us to fuck and tie to the kitchen everyday and then rape and beat to punish them while they depend on us for their existence and satiate our ego's. Thats what all we Muslim men think about if we see one slightest hint of figure in a woman walking. Because they are just SEX.

(Sarcasm)

[mountainsandsea]

You better be kidding with only yourself, because, these words left here are serious ones indeed. Jesus is coming again to judge this nasty world. Women were given to men as a gift, not as a piece of property to own. I will pray for you and I suggest that you pray that the wrath of God doesn't consume your very breath.

[PersianPaladin]

Err...did you not see the word "sarcasm" beneath my post?

[imadeelshahid]

beautiful words, I am Muslim and trust me we do consider women as gift, that is why we marry them and not have one night stands. It quiet unfortunate that western media highlights part of an issue about women and then generalize it to the whole Islamic Faith.

[italo43]

your right that they do generalize, but this video is talking about iran not everywhere

[Kufar1]

hahaha i got it

[mountainsandsea]

i agree with you seriously.

[MrTopoli]

And it is not a park at the begining of this report 0:59 , you ass holes. I have grown up in Iran Parks don't look like that. It is defenitely a governmental institution, where people have to dressed up a little bit in a conservative manner.

[MrTopoli]

That would be great if PBS or KBTC had gone to France and Turkey and had made a report on the women who are forced to take off their covers in a democratic and liberal society. Then what does that mean? Stupid Western media, biased as usual.

[marniespeaks]

it's a cultural thing

so what

[Garlannd]

Well, we all know how progress in Iran works...

[chatsworthsharp420]

what a bunch of retards.

this is another reason to have global anarchy

[phnixlady]

Interesting points about social interactions and gender ! I have to think about this ! How effective is the idea of women as persons not decorations?
