Reyhaneh Javadi

Thesis topic: She examines Iranian women’s struggle for rights in a Muslim country as a “social non-movement.”  Focusing on the everyday struggles of women who continue to push the boundaries of the gendered policies of the state, she asks whether and how individual attempts by women justice professionals and ordinary citizens to reclaim their rights have resulted in broader structural changes in laws and legal procedures.
