Abstract :
Simin Behbahani, a teacher, writer, poet, and contemporary lyricist, was a member of the Iranian Writers' Association. One of the most significant issues reflected in Behbahani's poetry is the depiction of women's issues and the adverse mental and emotional conditions resulting from their unfavorable situations. Behbahani is a social poet who employs specific symbols to present unique ideas, situating her style within the realm of realism. Her poetry reveals profound human experiences, both bitter and sweet, in solidarity with women, and she attributes the root of moral corruption and prostitution to pain and suffering. Women in Behbahani's poems have diverse faces and manifestations. This article, conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, aims to explore Behbahani's descriptions of prostitutes in her poems. The findings of the research indicate that Behbahani is one of those poets who vividly expresses her maternal and emotional sympathy for prostitutes in her poetry, thereby raising awareness among her readers about the plight of these women. Behbahani's perspective on the issues faced by prostitutes is realistic and comprehensive. She strives to depict the inner lives of these women, their problems, cries, and emotions. Through her poetic empathy towards prostitutes, she seeks solutions to this social problem, advocating for a complete understanding of women's existence and the burdens and challenges they face. Behbahani aims to clarify the reasons behind the weakness and occasional despair that lead women to prostitution, ultimately recommending hope and divine and spiritual optimism.
