The government officials in Arab Majority Khuzestan province do not speak our language. All officials including the chief of women affairs in Ahwaz, Ms. Mariam Haidarian, like her all other predecessors, are non-native, non-Arab sent from Tehran. No Ahwazi woman has ever been allowed to take a job in the political establishment-no Ahwazi men or women allowed to be Khuzestan governor, officers, mayors or get a high or a mid-level government positions- all these jobs in Khuzestan have consistently been appointed from non-Arabs. We have no access to Iran's justice system as we do not speak the language and are not allowed to take Arabic translator to court. In the Chamran University in Arab majority Ahwaz City, it is estimated that only 10% of the students are Ahwazi —Arab women and men. With inadequate education and political representation, we the Ahwazi-Arab women are unable to address the injustices we face in the economic, cultural, political and 'judicial spheres. We recommend the following: 1. All government positions in Al-Ahwaz or Khuzestan province that deal with women issues, to be filled with women belonging to Arab minority. 2. That Iran recognizes and acknowledges the existence and the group rights of the Ahwazi-Arab women and men and other ethnic minorities and provide official and accurate census data by ethnicity. 3. Facilitate access to education in Arabic and establish a minimum quota to employ indigenous Ahwazis in the oil and Gas industries.
