GLOBALIZATION AND POST-ISLAMIC REVOLUTION: A CHANGING IRANIAN WOMAN
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Globalization and its core components like modernization, secularization, democracy etc. have become most debatable issues in the post-Revolution Iran. There has been a significant impact of globalization over the changing socio-religious milieu of contemporary Iranian society. Iranian women's position has also come under its profound influence. In the last three dec-ades, the position of Iranian women has come through different development perspectives. While resisting the Islamization policy of theocratic regime, they demand more shares in the management of the family as well as the society and appeal for revocation of discriminatory laws. Both secular and Islamic feminists categorically oppose patriarchal laws subjugating women, though the means to approach the problem differ. The present research paper will critically look into the question: How the post-Revolution regime has been tackling the problem of global forces emanating from the West? How global trends like modernization and secularization have affected the Iranian women's socio-religious behaviour? The paper will also discuss the emergence and achievements of two different feminist perspectives, namely, secular feminism and Islamic feminism in the Iranian context.
