Description: "This report recommends: a comprehensive revision of Iran's domestic legislation, in line with international standards on gender equality and other human rights ; the elimination of criminal provisions which discriminate between men and women or provide exemptions for crimes committed by men, including physical and sexual violence ; the immediate release of all prisoners detained solely for peacefully protesting and advocating for women's human rights ; improved gender balance in the distribution of civil service posts, ministerial portfolios and other high-ranking political positions, as well as increased access to all employment opportunities ; removal of all discriminatory provisions around citizenship to ensure that all Iranian women are able to pass on full nationality rights to their children at birth, regardless of their husband's country of origin."--Publisher description.
