The rights of women have consistently been violated, and they struggle hard for their existence and identity. These women have to resist the patriarchal and authoritative structure. This research examines the rights of women in Tehran on a global scale. The aims and objectives of this research are to explore how the novel becomes a mouthpiece against the oppression of women in a post-globalized world. It also discusses how women are uniting globally against this oppression. It explores how women resist the power dynamics that marginalized them. The approach used for this research is qualitative, as no numerical data or surveys are used. The primary source of this research is the textual study of Lion women of Tehran, and the secondary data include all articles, quotes, and papers that support this research with textual evidence. This research analyzes the data using a research question approach. The research describes the suffering and struggles of women for their rights and existence at a broader level. In a world where women's voices were silenced, the characters' friendship became a beacon of hope and resistance. This research challenges the patriarchal norms and power dynamics that tried to oppress and marginalize women with resilience and strong determination.
