This article explores the experiences of female university students—using feminist standpoint theory—who were members of various student organizations and associations during the first and second decades of the 21st century. Using a qualitative approach and purposive sampling, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 female students from Tehran University, Amirkabir University, and Alzahra University. These students were primarily members of Islamic associations, the student Basij, student union councils, and scientific associations. Thematic analysis of the data reveals that pre-existing structures of organizations reinforce gender bias, with women largely overlooked in organizational interaction. Meanwhile, male students actively lobby with university professors and officials to shape their positions. Although membership benefits are more accessible to men, participating in student organizations and associations remains an empowering experience for girls, even in the most conservative ones. Despite existing gender stereotypes and discrimination, girls' involvement in organizational activities and their presence in leadership positions has increased during the 2010s. Despite the growing awareness of gender issues over time, in the late 2010s, the organizational workspace became more restricted and constrained. The findings suggest that the stagnation and inactivity in university associations exposed female students to greater experiences of pressure and exclusion compared to male students.
