ملخص المقالة :
The presence of women in society and their rights within the family has consistently been a challenging subject throughout the political, social, and cultural history of Iran. The significance of women's demands in Iranian society is such that many political movements have managed to sway women's votes by claiming to be responsive to these demands during election campaigns. The escalating demands of women and inadequate responsiveness to these aspirations have raised concerns, revealing the government's limitations in addressing women's issues. This research delves into the sociological study of the policy approaches of the ninth and tenth governments in the realm of women, given their prominence as the most influential political forces in Iran. The data for this study were extracted through document analysis of official reports from the Women and Family Affairs Deputy of the mentioned governments and the Fifth Five-Year Economic, Social, and Cultural Development Plan approved by the parliament. The content was analyzed using thematic content analysis, identifying five policy approaches: prescriptive policies, supportive policies, attention to economic participation, top-down policymaking, and cultural groundwork in the policies of the ninth and tenth governments. These administrations exhibit a minimalistic view of women's roles, with motherhood being the most emphasized and highlighted female role.
