Iran is facing a severe economic crisis, driven by corruption, mismanagement, and international sanctions reinstated under President Trump. This situation has profoundly impacted its citizens, especially women in areas like Sistan and Baluchestan, who strive to support their families despite financial hardships. As inflation skyrockets and the currency loses value, a generation of women uses online platforms for income. They face not only financial struggles but also systemic discrimination, complicating their efforts to sustain their livelihoods and families amid growing poverty rates.
We can clearly feel that we are getting poorer from month to month, said Narges, a 36-year-old artist who lives in Iran's southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan province.
The current economic crisis has pushed even more families below the poverty line, Narges said, highlighting the struggles faced by many Iranians.
Women in Iran's Baloch community particularly suffer from drought and discrimination, impacting their financial stability.
Since Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian took office, the Iranian currency has plunged in value, significantly contributing to rising inflation.
