Azar Majedi

Azar Majedi (Persian: آذر ماجدی ‎‎) is an Iranian communist activist, writer, chairperson of the Organization for Women's Liberation and one of the leaders of the Worker-Communist Party of Iran. She has been an opponent of the current regime ruling Iran since returning from her education abroad to oppose the regime in 1978, a movement she has described as just.

Majedi was born in Iran to an atheist father and Muslim mother.

Majedi describes herself as a Marxist and Worker-communist. An atheist from the age of 12, she has described Islam as "a very misogynist ideology". Majedi said in a 2001 interview that "society must do something so that Islam is eradicated". In another interview Majedi expressed the view that Islamophobia does not exist, and that it is "an invented concept trying to silence the world to criticize Islam or Islamic movement".

Majedi was married to Mansoor Hekmat. She had three children with him.
