Women’s NGOs and gender sensitive policy change in Iran

该项目旨在调查伊朗妇女非政府组织(NGO)如何影响伊朗伊斯兰共和国对性别问题敏感的政策变化。该项目将产生关于伊朗非政府组织主导的政策变化背后的因果机制的新知识，从而形成关于非政府组织的变化理论和更广泛的伊斯兰政治制度中对性别问题有敏感认识的政策变化。预期的结果将增进对伊朗公民社会的学术理解，并建设澳大利亚政府促进与伊朗关系并投资于与伊朗取得进展的成功战略的能力。

This project aims to investigate how Iranian women’s non-governmental organisations (NGOs) work to influence gender sensitive policy change in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This project will generate new knowledge on the causal mechanisms behind NGO-driven policy change in Iran, leading to a theory of change on NGOs and gender sensitive policy change in Islamic political systems more broadly. The expected outcomes will enhance scholarly understanding of Iranian civil society, and build the capacity of the Australian government to foster ties and invest in successful strategies for progress with Iran.
