New Law in Iran Reduces Women’s Working Hours

A directive on the reduction of women’s weekly working hours has been communicated to executive bodies in Iran.

According to a Farsi report by Mehr, the new law will reduce the working hours of women with special conditions from 44 hours to 36 hours per week.

Women with special conditions include those with severe disabilities, those who have children under 6 years of age, or the ones who have a husband or child with severe disability or refractory disease.

Single mothers are also considered as women with special conditions and can take advantage of the reduction in working hours.
