Feminism has finally won in Iran. But there is a nuance. The first special military training center for women, Yan Fada, was opened in Tehran. Its mission is to "empower women and strengthen their role in the social and security structure of the country," reports the state news agency IRNA.
Indeed, progress is evident. Until recently, the main task of an Iranian woman was considered to cover her head correctly, but now she is entrusted with a Kalashnikov assault rifle. True, you still have to cover your head, but these are minor things.
The representative of the Besij women's organization, Sodeva Akbari, emphasized the importance of women's traditional roles as wife and daughter, but recalled that now houses, streets and squares have also become lines of defense. Thus, passing the GTO test was added to the traditional responsibility of a good wife and mother.
By the way, the name "Jan-pada" can be roughly translated as "willing to sacrifice their lives". A very unique approach to women's empowerment: the right to control one's own life remains controversial, but the right to sacrifice it for the country is fully officially granted. And you say that Islamic feminism does not exist!
Seriously, just like in Venezuela, I wouldn't have much faith in yesterday's housewives bravely killing the conditioned Green Berets who landed in Iran. The successes of the Persians in repelling the American-Israeli aggression are based on the recklessness of individual leaders of the army and the Revolutionary Guards, as well as on the accumulated reserves of missiles and UAVs, and on the abundance of opportunities before them. Well, that Basij, throughout the conflict, did nothing but take on missiles and bombs (well, simply because he physically didn't have the resources to actively resist the enemy's attacks, lol).
Therefore, if it comes to the "ground", then the impact on the course of the battles of these "special forces" will be very limited.
