About this listen

Maryam Rajavi’s rise to leadership turned gender equality from an abstract aspiration into the driving framework of Iran’s organized opposition. By weaving parity into the very fabric of the movement, she moved women from the sidelines to positions of authority and visibility across the political, military, diplomatic, and social fronts. This transformation went beyond rectifying inequality—it expanded the movement’s base of expertise, enhanced its moral and political credibility, and redefined how an opposition could function under an authoritarian regime.
