A thread:
The Pahlavi dynasty abolished slavery in Iran, gave women rights, and sheltered Jews when they were internationally targeted.
Slavery:
Although slavery was not prevalent in pre-Islamic Iran, it had become a social issue by the late Qajar era.
Africans, Jews, and Georgians were among the most common of slaves who were used in different labor segments and for different tasks.
Slaves were either imported or domestically abducted.
By the emergence of Reza Shah the Great, and therefore the modernization of a religious and ultra-conservative society, slavery as a practice was forever diminished.
