About this listen
Rural women migrants in Chabahar are trapped between environmental collapse and a regime that refuses to see them. Their suffering is systemic.
Chabahar’s women aren’t asking for much—just survival with dignity.
After fleeing drought and devastation, they were promised jobs and housing.
Instead, they got slums, silence, and shame.
In Chabahar’s slums, 70,000 migrants live in sewage-lined streets.
Kids play among open wires and disease.
Women face hunger, illiteracy, and addiction.
This is not a natural disaster. It’s a political one.
Setareh’s story is one of thousands in Chabahar.
Women heads of household, abandoned by the state, are surviving—but barely.
This is not migration. It’s displacement with no way back.
