ALL IRANIAN SPORTS FANS
More Info at:

Football is a game both men and women of all ages play and enjoy. It is also a game that in most parts of the world is enjoyed by all on the stands and at homes. Sadly, Iranian women are not allowed to enter the stadiums to watch their national team play for glory. This unfortunate phenomenon took a turn for worse when those women who attempted to attend a football match between Irans national team and Costa Rica on March 1st at the Azadi Stadium were met with violence. Forty eight hours later, That was followed by expulsion of over 2000 female spectators at the World Cup of Gymnastics event from another venue of Azadi Sports Complex.
We the undersigned individuals of this petition express our outrage for the gender discrimination as it relates to allowing women into Azadi and other stadiums in Iran. Furthermore, we condemn the acts of violence committed against those women who attempted to enter Tehrans Azadi Stadium prior to Iran Costa Rica match on March 1st, 2006.
Our demand is clear and simple:
Women must unconditionally be allowed to attend any and all sporting events in Iran if they choose so.

- Not only should women be allowed to attend football matches, but they should be given preferential treatment and a specially segregated area for women and children implicated at the Azadi and elsewhere in Iran.

- I support women,s participation and attendance in various sports. More than half of our population is women who can win more medals in world scenes and improve their own health and competitive nature. Iranians must learn to work together to improve living conditions for all people regardless of their spiritual or political preferences.

- Why are female fans stopped from entering stadiums in Iran to support their beloved country? Iran can easily provide family enclosures or a female section in all stadiums to allow women in. Security forces should protect female fans entering stadiums not beat them up.
