The situation with women in Iran is disgusting, as they are mistreated constantly. They don’t have some basic human rights, and men who do horrible things to them are not tried or convicted of the crimes. Maz Bozorgi writes about this in one of her relatively recent blog posts:

I was once caught by the university security guards for wearing a Metallica necklace. while I was in a room being questioned and accused of devil worshipping, there was a girl there, crying. She was gang raped by a group of students, and she was asking for help. The security guards being busy with my necklace and figuring out how to read it didn’t really listen to her. As I understood, she had broken up with a guy earlier and dated his friend, but when she went to his place, she found out that it was a trap set by the ex-boyfriend and his friend plus two other guys as a revenge on the break-up. They gang raped her and kicked her out of the house without any fear of prosecution. She knew them all, she knew their home address, she had evidence but she was a woman in Iran. I had heard of this revenge gang rape already. They called it ‘the trial’. It was usually a revenge for a breakup or anything else. I even heard that they would do it to girls to have revenge on their brothers or fathers. They wouldn’t hide it, or they wouldn’t run away. They were proud of doing it. After about an hour of crying, the guy who was pretending to listen to the girl stopped the girl and said “you know it’s your own fault. You shouldn’t have gone there, you shouldn’t have had a relationship outside marriage. It’s on yourself and we can’t help you” It hit me so hard. How could he say that? what was her fault exactly? Is this what Islam teaches? So how can a woman speak publicly of harassment? The society and family, they all blame the victim. Islam blames the victim. No one blames the attacker.

It’s insane that things like this can go unpunished in Iran. Rape is prevalent all over the world, but it’s situation in Iran is significantly worse.
