About Hamideh:
Hamideh Tabatabaie, the YES country coordinator for Iran, is a young woman who has been working for the cause of youth welfare and development since her teenage years. You must become the change you wish to see in the world. Guided by this strong philosophy, Hamideh first began her work as an advocate for youth empowerment in small communities. Over a period of time both her work and presence came to be recognized and she become a leading spokesperson for youth and development issues in Iran. Her work has been targeted towards raising awareness about issues of youth entrepreneurship, environmental protection and human rights. Hamideh gives us a brief insight into the problem of youth unemployment in Iran, which is further compounded by the lack of a tradition of entrepreneurship among the youth in the country. In her own words, Hamideh describes the problem as she has come to understand it over her years of working with this target population: “We have a rich country with no poverty or in other words, it is different from what is commonly known as ‘poverty.’ This is for two reasons, one of which is Iran’s huge oil and natural gas deposits. Our country has the privilege of possessing rich gas and oil resources. Therefore, we are known as one of the richest countries in the region. The second reason is that our Islamic culture obliges the rich people to allocate a portion of their income annually to the deprived. Although, these reasons are positive by nature but in some cases we believe they have become the major factors for unemployment. In keeping with the old tradition Iranian youth are supported by their family at every stage of their life. In most cases our youth tend to continue their father’s occupation after education but in many cases continued help from the family has made the young people reluctant towards finding an appropriate job for themselves. Moreover, entrepreneurship is quite unknown among such youths.” Hamideh understood the magnitude of this problem of youth unemployment and during the first international NGO Conference on the Role of Women and Family in Human Development, organized by the Women’s Bureau of Iran, she came across the work of the YES network. She knew then that she had found her niche in the broad spectrum of development endeavors and consented to becoming the country director for the YES network in Iran. She brought together a diverse group of participants: academic institutions, NGOs, the media, the private sector, the government, and above all, the youth in big towns and small provinces on a common platform and has since been an inspirational leader for YES Iran. Hamideh says, “Decentralization and involvement of people at local level has lead to the success of the network by allowing us to structuralize and use the potential that lies within individual provinces and towns. Thus, after two years since the initiation of our activities we see the participation of youth in every training course being run by YES in their area.” Hamideh acknowledges that the concept of entrepreneurship is welcomed by youth and there is a demand for entrepreneurship education among them. It is hoped that YES Iran will be able to fulfill this demand and lead a movement towards youth self-employment in years to come. Hamideh’s educational qualifications are impressive; she did her Bachelors and Masters in French translation, and is currently pursuing her PhD in International Relations from Tehran University. Her long career as a development professional has seen her as founding member of two different organizations: • Iranian Youth Translators, Interpreters and Researchers Association • Association of Women Promoters for the Dialogue among Civilizations She is also an active member of the Iranian Women’s NGO Network, and has held a variety of different positions over the past few years, while also fulfilling her responsibilities as a student at University. She has been a Program Officer at the Office of International Affairs for the Presidential Office of Iran since 2001 to the present day. She is also the present International Affairs Advisor to the Network of Iranian parties known as ‘Iran Party’s House.’ Finally, she is the National Coordinator for the Youth NGO Networks for implementing the Millenium Development Goals and for ILO’s Youth Employment Network in Iran.
