Abstract The direct and indirect role of women during the eight years of the Sacred Defense presented a model to the world in this era that, sooner or later, will affect the fate and position of women in the world. They will understand that the presence of women is necessary not only in the family, but also in the field of social guardianship, jihad, and defense. It is a clear example of this pure saying that the mobilization means the efficient force of the country for all fields. However, it must be acknowledged that, despite the efforts to portray the role of women in the Sacred Defense, there is still a long way to go before the reality that has occurred is represented as befits the struggle of women in this era. This qualitative research, using an "understanding" method, is responsible for representing the corners of women's activism in various forms in the Sacred Defense. The research is based on library and documentary studies, the formulation of women's role in 3 main categories, and analysis, based on the 4 types of action of "Max Weber" typology and a researcher-made model. According to the results of the research, most of the contributions of women during the Holy Defense period in the social sphere and the mobilization of national resources and facilities were in the form of goal-oriented rational action and value-oriented rational action, and women's role in the family can be realized based on emotional or traditional action.

Abstract The fall of sedition last year (1401) caused many political and sociological analysts to raise the question that why and to what extent is the Islamic Republic of Iran willing to pay for women's hijab in society? In the meantime, some people, with a one-dimensional view, considered this issue to be merely ideological, and some others called it the government's policy to maintain its supporters. The aim of the current research is to investigate the main causes and factors of the importance and necessity of this matter in the system of the Islamic Republic. The main question is why the Islamic Republic system insists so much on observing a social obligation, despite numerous internal and external problems? This research investigates this issue with descriptive-analytical method and using library sources.The findings of the research show that the great importance of hijab among the imams of the revolution as the outliners of the general policies of the system, which is also based on considering the advantages and disadvantages of this matter in their eyes, is the most important reason for this. Sociologists and intellectuals of the society have also put forward reasons such as the cultural image and identity of clothing, disruption of the system and the priority of social rights over the individual regarding the necessity of clothing, which supports the view of the Imam and the leadership on the issue of women's clothing...

Abstract One of the most important ways to achieve development is the participation of all members of society, and this is possible through the establishment of desirable and just social relations. Women's political participation is one of the important issues that is an important indicator in the process of sustainable development of any society. The more humane and just society has social relations, the more and better the participation and cooperation of individuals. In fact, disability participation is the structure and function of social relations and the distribution of facilities, resources, division of labor and responsibilities in society. Changes and developments that have occurred in recent decades in the political and social field of women in Iran, increasing the level of education, participation in various social, political and economic fields and in general their efforts to gain different roles in society show the activation of the role Women are in different fields. However, it can be seen that the presence and participation of women in senior management has serious problems. In the meantime, the question arises whether the victory of the Islamic Revolution had an effect on the quality of women's political participation? What are the barriers to women's political participation? The results show that the teachings of the Islamic Revolution emphasize on independence, oppression, social justice and gender justice, and these concepts have played a key role in women's equitable participation and less attention has been paid to independent participation. The traditional structure and texture that is woven into the fabric of thought and thought of the people of the society is influenced by the political culture of the Iranian society and seems to be a serious obstacle to the realization of women's rights and participation.
