Maryam Rajavi is the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (Coalition of democratic Iranian opposition) for the transitional period during which sovereignty will be transferred to the people of Iran. Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan for the future of Iran calls for a republic based on the separation of religion and state, gender equality, abolition of the death penalty and a non-nuclear Iran.
We would greatly welcome it if the regime were to change its behavior through negotiations because any form of retreat accelerates the regime’s downfall. But such an expectation is an illusion.

Every year, International Women’s Day offers us a moment to reflect on the journey we have made and the commitments we must undertake for the future—a future that must ensure human liberation and a better world. We must ask, has global progress, particularly over the past century, not moved toward reducing oppression, repression, and the subjugation of women? Undoubtedly, these are positive strides.
Any investment in this regime is doomed to failure, and the time has come for the international community to stand alongside the Iranian people by adopting a firm policy against religious fascism and supporting their struggle for freedom and democracy.
Our struggle and our people’s struggle extend beyond merely the right to attire. The fundamental right to rebel is ours, our people’s and that of freedom fighters everywhere. It is a right enshrined as a last resort against despotism and suppression in the preamble to the…

Maryam Rajavi was born into a middle-class family in Tehran. One of her brothers, Mahmoud, is a veteran member of the PMOI/MEK and was a political prisoner during the Shah’s regime.
Her older sister, Narges, was killed by the Shah’s secret police, SAVAK, in 1975.
Her other sister, Massoumeh, an industrial engineering student, was arrested by the clerical regime in 1982. Pregnant at the time, she was ultimately hanged after undergoing brutal torture. Massoumeh’s husband, Massoud Izadkhah, was also executed.
Maryam Rajavi graduated with honors from the prestigious Sharif University of Technology in metallurgical engineering.
She joined the PMOI/MEK to participate in the popular resistance against the two corrupt dictatorships of the Shah and the mullahs. In the 1970s, during her college years, she organized anti-Shah student protests.
In 1980, she ran for a seat in Parliament from Tehran. But, due to widespread voter fraud by the new fundamentalist regime, none of the opposition candidates made it into Parliament. Despite the scam, Maryam Rajavi received over 250,000 votes.
