Religions, cultures and different nations considered the women as an active and effective element. Women activities and their rights have been recently issued at 20th century so that providing different aspects resulted in women's equality movements and eventually, led to feminism movement. In this research, apart from feminism's views, we study the housewives' and female students' views of southwestern of Iran on challenges confronting with men and women rights. The most of repliers observed these issues as the reason of violence against women: unobserving of men and women equality (gender inequality), social believes, training approaches of boys and girls inequality, response to illogical respects of society, preservation of family life, loss of self confidence and women social and emotional stress, individual and unreal understanding of some people about religion, loss of employment for educated women.
