description This article analyses the production of social inequalities and violence experienced by women in the medical sector, particularly through family planning policies in Iran. Shaped by state policies and professional sexual and reproductive health practices, Family planning policies mobilise the public administration and the medical sector to organise the control of women’s reproductive lives, particularly those of rural and working-class Persian and Afghan women. Anchored in an intersectional approach, this work shows that women, despite changes in political regimes, have had different access to family planning by class and ethnie. Minority populations are subject to structural violence and discrimination, which is reflected in the fact that professionals withhold information on the various methods of contraception or perform sterilisations without consent.
