approved by the Guardian Council on October 2nd, 2019.78 Before this date, Article 976 of the Iranian Civil Code provided that only children born of Iranian fathers could be granted citizenship. The passing of the aforementioned law and the consideration of the draft law on violence against women currently under Parliament’s review do not significantly alter the general Iranian framework, which remain discriminatory towards women and in violation of Iran’s international legal obligations. The Islamic Republic of Iran has not amended the vast majority of its laws which discriminate against women and prevent the equal and full enjoyment by women of their civil, political, social and economic rights, including the right to freedom of movement, the right to work and the right to be free from discrimination, especially in the workplace. Recommendation Status: This recommendation has been NOT implemented. 78 ISNA< https://www.isna.ir/news/98071007927/ > 8
