- Full Recommendation
The Special Rapporteur further calls on the Government to ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and to amend laws that violate the rights of women, including the rights to freedom of movement and work and the right to be free from discrimination, especially in the workplace and in the hiring process. She urges the Islamic Republic of Iran to protect children born within its jurisdiction by facilitating the ability of women to pass on their citizenship to their sons and daughters, and to amend laws and regulations, including on dress code that infringe upon the rights of women and undermines their dignity. In the light of the high rates of child marriage, which is never in the best interest of the child, the Special Rapporteur reiterates her call upon the Government to take steps to ensure that the minimum age for marriage complies with international standards.

- Full Recommendation
He encourages the Government to amend laws that continue to undermine women’s full enjoyment of civil political, social, and economic rights, including rights in family law, the right to equal access to education and the right to work. Draft legislation currently under consideration that appears to infringe on these rights raises serious concern, and should be reconsidered.
