The Alliance of Iranian Women was established in 2006, in order to provide an arena for the women of Iran to come together and unite in their quest to regain their human freedom and dignity that was taken away from them by a political Islamic ideology, established in 1979. The goal was to establish an organization for the Iranian women, from both inside Iran and around the world, to be heard and seen as they struggle to attain their freedom and equal individual rights.
Our mission is to bring Iranian women together and collectively reinforce them in their struggles to attain their goals. We are at the core of a distinct network that mobilizes around the issues of women’s equal rights and prevention of political use of religion to dominate and abuse women and children.
AIW’s mission is to bring the voice of the Iranian women living under the Khomeinist regime’s Sharia Laws, to the Western democracies. Iranian women have never relented to oppression and have stood steadfast in the face of gender apartheid, to attain their equal and human rights. The women of Iran want to be heard by their sisters in the West and call on them to support them in their fight to separate politics from the issue of women and children’s rights.
We are dedicated to compiling, vetting and disseminating information and documentation on crimes committed by the Islamic regime officials, against the women and children of Iran.
The idea of establishing an institution to bring together Iranians and Iranians of the Washington area in order to keep the beacon of ancient and prolific Iranian culture in this part of the world lit by organizing discussions and lectures on literary, scientific, social and artistic topics, and celebrating And the national rituals, in 2004, equal to 2004 AD, were strengthened among a number of enthusiasts and enthusiasts of Iranian culture, and in the same year, they were implemented by holding several programs in the mentioned fields. This activity was seriously pursued in the following years as a result of the warm welcome of our compatriots living in the region. In 2010, with the approval of the founding board, the name of Damavand Cultural Foundation was chosen for this institution and it was registered in the state of Maryland as a cultural and non-profit organization.
Since then, the Damavand Cultural Foundation has held dozens of cultural events with the invitation of renowned experts, professors, and researchers related to literature, science, art, and social issues, and has also tried to commemorate national and popular Iranian celebrations and rituals. Damavand Cultural Foundation, as its statute emphasizes, is an independent and non-profit cultural institution that is not affiliated with any party, organization, group or political group, and its members maintain their individual beliefs only in order to achieve the goal. The cultural activities of the foundation, which are specified in its articles of association, have a common effort. The foundation's charter was amended in 2016 with the approval of a majority of its members.
