\"International — International Women\u2019s Conference highlights women\u2019s leadership as the driving force for a democratic Iran.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
On February 21, 2026, just days before International Women\u2019s Day, an international conference<\/a> brought together Iranian opposition representatives and prominent political figures from Europe and the Americas. The central message was clear: women\u2019s leadership is not symbolic, but essential to Iran\u2019s democratic transition.<\/p>\n
Throughout the event, speakers emphasized the organizational strength of the Iranian Resistance, endorsed the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>)\u2019s Ten-Point Plan<\/a> as a concrete democratic roadmap, and highlighted the decisive role of Resistance Units and women-led networks inside Iran. A recurring theme was the rejection of both clerical dictatorship and any return to monarchy. The consensus: no credible democratic future for Iran is possible without women at the center of power.<\/p>\n
