The Democratic Organization of Iranian Women (DAW; Persian: تشکیلات دموکراتیک زنان ایران) is women's wing of the Tudeh Party of Iran. Led by Maryam Firouz, it was founded in 1943 as the 'Organization of Iranian Women' (OIW) (Persian: تشکیلات زنان ایران, romanized: Tashkilat-i Zanan-i Iran) and joined Women's International Democratic Federation in 1947. OIW was banned in 1949, along with Tudeh itself and other affiliates, but the party managed to revived it in 1951 with another name: 'Democratic Organization of Iranian Women'.
