Abstract
Background and Aim: Throughout history, various factors have prevented citizens from achieving their rights. One of the most important is gender. The situation of women in Iran has undergone many changes throughout history, and today it needs to identify needs and find legal solutions in various aspects. In the text of the "Charter of Citizenship Rights", the priority of respecting women's rights is considered as half of the society. However, the necessary efforts have not been made to identify the weaknesses and to observe them accurately and unconditionally, and observing them has faced many challenges. Given these points, it is essential for us to study and identify the challenges of women's citizenship rights. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the level of women's awareness of their citizenship rights, counting women's citizenship rights in the Charter of Citizenship Rights, as well as their expectations from the government.
Materials and Method: In this research, using library method, to collect and study the required resources and by comparing the data obtained from the study, try to select and benefit from the most accurate information in books, documents and sites that can be used. Access has been provided to describe and explain the subject.
Findings: The results showed that after the constitutional period, governments have always tried to improve women's citizenship rights. But some articles of the Charter are in stark contrast to the text of the law. Also, the lack of a mechanism for teaching citizenship rights, especially to women, and the lack of the necessary executive guarantees and less attention to violence against women are among the most important challenges to the Charter of Citizenship Rights.
Conclution: The situation of women's civil rights in Iran is the result of a complex set of historical, social, religious and political factors, and any change in this field requires full knowledge of these areas. It should not be assumed that the existence of laws, even the constitution's attention to civil rights, alone guarantees these rights in society. Citizenship is a culture that needs to be learned and institutionalized over time.
