Iran, Women's Intercultural Network

Mission of ICWIN
The Iranian Circle abides by WIN’s mission and policies and will follow an expanded mission and set of goals in it’s programming. The Circle will focus on raising consciousness on issues related to Iranian women both inside Iran and in the diaspora. In addition, the Circle aims to serve as a bridge not only connecting the Iranian women’s communities but also to connect them with other women globally. ICWIN believes that while women share universal issues and struggles, they also have unique issues and struggles within their own socio-political communities and individual lives. Hence, ICWIN aims to discuss and present topics related to gender equality in a global framework.

About ICWIN
ICWIN was formed in August of 2015 after seven months of deliberations with the Iranian women’s communities in Los Angeles and Long Beach. The addition of the Iranian Women’s circle was announced at the 20th anniversary celebration and call to action that WIN held in San Francisco on September 12, 2015.
