Abstract

Iran and Saudi Arabia are Muslim countries and have an influential role in the whole Muslim World. Both countries have a tribal background in which they have no mindset about women's rights in society. There is a competition between both governments to impose limitations on their female population. Iran claims surprising political change in during the contemporary period. Among these changes has been notable alternation in women’s role in society and status. There is a social and political gap between women and men; between the westernized educationist class and the popular class as well as between democratic and local activists. On the other hand, the Saudi monarchy has started its top-down reforms. Women are granted permission to drive and perform in concerts and run their own businesses. As well as Saudi women can join the military. Therefore, both countries are still ignoring women's rights compared to other nations. The study examines the uncovered heterogeneity of the two states. The paper additionally gives short learning on current conditions influencing women in both states. The study also comparatively analyzes the condition of women's rights and political rights in Iran and Saudi Arabia. It also traces women's struggle to seek rights, particularly political rights through the theory of gender equality. The study follows the descriptive-analytical method and most data is collected from secondary sources.
伊斯兰社会中的妇女权利:伊朗与沙特阿拉伯的比较研究
伊朗和沙特阿拉伯都是穆斯林国家,在整个穆斯林世界都扮演着重要的角色。这两个国家都有部落背景,他们对妇女在社会中的权利没有任何观念。两国政府在限制本国女性人口方面存在竞争。伊朗声称在当代发生了惊人的政治变化。在这些变化中,妇女在社会中的角色和地位发生了显著变化。男女之间存在着社会和政治上的差距;西化的教育家阶级和平民阶级之间,民主主义者和地方活动家之间。另一方面,沙特王室开始了自上而下的改革。妇女被允许开车、在音乐会表演和经营自己的生意。此外,沙特女性也可以参军。因此,与其他国家相比,这两个国家仍然忽视妇女的权利。这项研究考察了这两个州未被发现的异质性。本文还简要介绍了影响两国妇女的现状。本研究还比较分析了伊朗和沙特阿拉伯的妇女权利和政治权利状况。它还追溯了妇女通过性别平等理论寻求权利,特别是政治权利的斗争。本研究采用描述性分析方法,大部分数据来自二手资料。
