Abstract
The primary indicator of women's empowerment is their political participation in decision-making processes. Women's political participation extends beyond mere involvement in elections and voting; it encompasses an active and effective role for women in all democratic institutions. This research aims to propose strategies for empowering women in political decision-making within the Islamic Republic of Iran. The present study seeks to address the following central question: "What strategies can empower women to engage in political decision-making in the Islamic Republic of Iran?" The research employs a qualitative method, with data collected through interviews. The statistical population for this study includes professors from the faculties of political science, social sciences, sociology, and law. The sample comprised 15 of these professors. The results, following thematic analysis, reveal that the main themes include supportive government, modern education, legal reforms, civil institutions, media collaboration, and the modeling of effective strategies for empowering women in significant political and managerial decision-making processes.
