Women's empowerment can be defined as a change in the circumstances of a woman's
life, which enables her to raise her capacity to manage more enriched and
rewarding life. Improvement in women's empowerment is a salient issue to achieve
the Millennium Development Goals. National laws are influential factors in
promoting women's empowerment. Lack of awareness of legal and constitutional
provisions and failure to recognize it, is a factor that hinders the process of
empowerment. This paper provides a review based on Iranian legislations which
have considered various aspects of women's empowerment. Although this work has
specifically dealt with women's needs, it encompasses a right-based approach to
women's empowerment suggested by the United Nations Fund for Population
Activities. However, there is still a great need for further inquiries in the
area of legislations concerning women's empowerment around the world in general
and Iran in particular.
