Abstrak
The Stoning of Soraya M (2008) is a film directed by an American-Iranian filmmaker Cyrus Nowrasteh. This film depicts women rsquo s reality in Iranian society in the aftermath of Iranian revolution of 1979. Using Sylvia Walby rsquo s concept of patriarchal structure this study identifies six structural issues underlying gender-based injustices faced by the main character. I shall demonstrate that the film is a strong critique against systemic gender-based violence. Through its narrative the film scrunitizes the unequal gendered power relations in the household state sexuality workplace culture and male violence which eventually lead to gender discrimination and violence against women.
