The Bahman Cultural Center has had a significant impact on the process of social change in Iran. Prior to its construction, women in the area had no means of cultural enrichment, especially if they were poor. The Bahman Cultural Center gave them a reason the leave their home (private sphere) and venture into the public sphere; enriching them culturally and allowing them to define their individuality. The Bahman Cultural Center allowed women to spend time on themselves, and provided a new way to find leisure and make new friends. Cultural enrichment awakened women to their rights and gave them the confidence to stand up for those rights.
