Gender inequality
Females and males are different physically and socially, but girls and women need equal rights without discrimination. However, gender issues around wage inequality, employment, physical violence, sexual harassment, marriage, and pregnancy exist.

According to the data, 49 countries still do not have laws protecting women against domestic violence. 1 out of 5 women under the age of 50 experienced physical and sexual violence within the last 12 months. Meanwhile, 15 million girls under the age of 18 undergo child marriage every year. Women also do 2.6 times more unpaid work than men. This leads to lower earnings and less time for non-work activities.

The issue of gender equality in Iran
Women and girls are still treated as second-class citizens in Iran. A report to the Human Rights Council shows thousands of child marriages among girls aged 10 and 19 yearly.
By law, girls as young as 13 can marry, and younger girls can legally marry with paternal consent. Over 16,000 girls aged between 10 and 14 have married in half a year, based on the official government data. Despite some progress in education and citizenship rights, Iranian women continue to face discrimination in areas such as marriage, divorce, employment, and culture. Domestic violence against girls and women was also highlighted in the report.
