Abstract :

Since women always make up half of the world's population, addressing their role in the development process of society is of major importance. According to official statistics, women make up half of the population of Iran, i.e. 49% of the society. It is not possible to achieve the goals of comprehensive growth and development in the country, except by using all social forces, including women. In this regard, a survey research has been conducted in the target community consisting of 8763 cultural women of Ahvaz city. The resulting data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, variance and frequency tables as well as inferential statistics such as Pearson's correlation test. According to the grouping of the sample, the largest age group, including 92% of the sample, was under 81 years old. To check the natural distribution of the data, multivariate regression was used in the backward method. The resulting data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, variance and frequency tables as well as inferential statistics such as Pearson's correlation test. The research findings show that there is an inverse relationship between patriarchy and women's political socialization.
