Abstract

Efforts to explain the concept of "gender justice" as an alternative to gender equality in our country is commendable if it is the beginning of the elimination of discriminations. Widespread participation of women in parties and non-governmental organizations plays an effective role in the political and social development and power distribution system; and it leads to the reform of the political and social structure of the country by preventing the monopoly of power.

In the present study, the issue of gender justice and the problems of women activists in the two decades of 1991 and 2001 and the extent of their participation and mode of action in parties and non-governmental organizations have been stated; and this basic question has been answered that whether parties and non-governmental organizations suffer from gender discriminations within their structure. Qualitative and descriptive methods were used to find the answer. The results of documentary studies, coding and categorization of interviews data through MAXQDA software and using the content analysis method and Grounded theory showed that although non-governmental organizations had been in a much better situation for presenting and playing the participatory role of women, but the existence of gender justice within the country's civil institutions, especially political parties, is still far from the desired level.
