The Role of Women in the 23rd National Consultative Assembly an‎d the 5th Islamic Consultative Assembly: A Comparative Study During the Pahlavi era, particularly in the 1950s an‎d 1960s, significant social an‎d economic transformations enabled women to make notable strides, especially in education an‎d legal rights. In this period, particularly in the 23rd National Consultative Assembly, crucial measures were adopted to support womenʹs rights, including the Family Protection Law an‎d regulations concerning free education. With womenʹs entry into politics, female representatives were elected to the parliament. This development ensured the continued presence of women in various political an‎d administrative fields until the end of the Pahlavi regime. On the other han‎d, the Islamic Revolution an‎d the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran led to significant social an‎d cultural transformations, which profoundly affected womenʹs status. Although women played a significant role in the Islamic Revolution, there was an initial perception that cultural changes after the revolution might impose restrictions on their political an‎d social roles. However, despite this initial assumption, women remained active in economic an‎d social spheres, participating in multiple elections an‎d holding various responsibilities. Their involvement reached a pivotal point when they entered the 5th Islamic Consultative Assembly, where they played a significant role in drafting laws related to womenʹs rights. Accordingly, this research aims to provide a comparative analysis of womenʹs roles in the two legislative periods, seeking to answer the question: What role did women play in proposing an‎d passing laws related to womenʹs rights in the 23rd National Consultative Assembly an‎d the 5th Islamic Consultative Assembly? Analytical studies indicate that, in a comparative assessment of these two assemblies before an‎d after the revolution, overall, significant an‎d positive progress has been made in increasing womenʹs participation in various fields. This study is based on archival research focusing on parliamentary documents, supplemented by library research to explore different aspects of the subject.
