In the words of Azerbaijani poet and women’s rights activist, Faranak Farid, «Race, ethnicity, gender, language and culture, social class, religion, place of residence, disability, etc. are factors which create inequality and discrimination. Often, women confront most of these forms of discrimination.» So minority women are victimized twice, as one Azerbaijani women’s rights activist stated, «We are both women and minorities; in the Islamic Republic of Iran, we are doubly accused.»
