The Women's fraction (Persian: فراکسیون زنان) is a cross-factional all-female parliamentary group in the Iranian Parliament which advocates Women's rights in Iran.
In 1996, a commission was established for Women, Youth and Family Affairs in the Parliament, headed by Marzieh Vahid-Dastjerdi. However, it included some male members. In 2000, female representatives created a fraction designated for women.
Iran's female members of parliament have always been few in number.
