I joined international jurists and human rights defenders in signing onto a joint letter and underlying legal brief urging States to include the crime of gender apartheid in the draft crimes against humanity (CAH) treaty.
Women and girls who live under the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Islamic Republic in Iran are battling extreme, institutionalized and systematized gender-based oppression and domination. This treatment has a name: gender apartheid.
The UN General Assembly’s Sixth Committee (Legal) is scheduled to debate the proposed CAH treaty in October. Member States have the choice to recognize the CAH of gender apartheid in the treaty.
Codifying this crime will provide the international community with the necessary tools to mobilize against apartheid regimes and hold perpetrators of gender apartheid accountable.
We can’t miss this chance to make gender apartheid a crime recognized under international law.

The Iranian Justice Collective (IJC) compiled a list of these officials, including the judge responsible for Toomaj’s sentencing, and urged the Canadian Parliament to add them to the existing roster of sanctioned Islamic Republic officials.

In prose that is both unflinching and lyrical, Susan (Suzi) Ehtesham-Zadeh presents Zan, a collection of stories that provide a deep and nuanced view of contemporary Iranian women as they navigate a crucial moment in their nation’s history.
A university student strips off her hijab in the streets of Tehran and films herself as part of a daring protest movement. A wealthy Iranian woman living in Atlanta maintains a secret life as a burlesque dancer. A teenager slips out of a hotel room at night to skinny dip in the toxic Caspian Sea. An Iranian le***an agonizes over her coming out and her father’s subsequent attempts to re-educate her. These are some of the many windows Zan opens into the complex lives of Iranian women today-those who continue to suffer oppression under the Islamic Republic, those who are crafting new identities in America, and those who hover somewhere in between.
Winner of the 2022 Dzanc Short Collection Prize, Zan explores feelings familiar to anyone who has ever felt marginalized or who has sought a home in a world where cultures collide and conflict.
Suzi Ehtesham-Zadeh was born in Washington, D.C. to an Iranian father and an American mother. She moved to Iran at age 5 and grew up in Tehran under the Shah. She returned to the U.S. to attend Stanford University, and when the Islamic Revolution started brewing shortly after she graduated, she moved back to Iran and plopped herself down in it. She later received an MFA in Creative Writing from Boston University. A lifelong English teacher, she has taught in schools and universities on three continents, but her permanent home is a 6-acre farm in Woodstock, GA.
Her fiction has been published in numerous publications, including The Georgia Review, Gertrude Press, and Fiction International, and she received an honorable mention forThe Best American Short Stories 2018.

Our Story
Kayhan Life is an independent media outlet focusing on Iran. We offer in-depth news coverage of Iran’s politics, economy, society, and culture, and spotlight prominent Iranians around the world. Kayhan Life is the latest addition to the Kayhan family, which also includes our Persian-language site, Kayhan London.
Kayhan Life is heir to the distinguished legacy of the Kayhan Newspaper. Originally launched during the Second World War, Kayhan became Iran’s most widely read and circulated broadsheet, before extending its reach internationally to more than 37 countries.
Following the confiscation of the Kayhan Newspaper after the Islamic Revolution, Iran’s government transformed the liberal broadsheet into a hardline newspaper. As a result, the newspaper’s original founder established Kayhan London in 1984, uniting a community that was scattered across five continents, and providing them with real news and information on Iran. With the advent of the Internet, Kayhan developed its presence online, eventually welcoming over one million visitors a month to the site. The paper celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2017.
The name Kayhan, which means universe in Persian, encapsulates our journalistic philosophy: a well-rounded, all-encompassing news service that defends freedom of the press and the liberal values of pluralism, including ethnic, sexual and religious diversity, and a culture of openness and tolerance.
