    From my mostly limited knowledge: yes on education, though it is segregated by gender. There aren’t specifically bans on women from working or participating in politics as far as I know, but there is that whole layer of repressive legal frameworks, like the hijab law.

    Which, I would say thanks to the access to education, is subject to change even under a hyperconservative religious government. But I really am not that knowledgeable on Iranian politics or current events there. I know that the protests have been dragging on, but haven’t really resulted in any structural change as far as I know.

    Point is, if comparing to Afghanistan, like the original context appears to have been: relatively well off.
