Maryam Rajavi is the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (Coalition of democratic Iranian opposition) for the transitional period during which sovereignty will be transferred to the people of Iran. Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan for the future of Iran calls for a republic based on the separation of religion and state, gender equality, abolition of the death penalty and a non-nuclear Iran.
The 2022 uprising spread the unifying cry, "Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the (mullahs’) Leader!" and unveiled the decisive role of women—a path paved by decades of sacrifice and courage from steadfast PMOI and other women fighters.
