This article is focused on the relevance of addressing contemporary representation of women in animation films. Its main objective is to create awareness on the theme, to contribute to a global dialogue that helps to fight intolerance against women and to promote an ethical conscientization of mutual coexistence, based on human rights, with a special focus on gender equality. To achieve this objective, our research conducted an analysis of the case study, Our Uniform (2023), directed by Iranian Yegane Moghaddam, which reflects the problematics of women in a very expressive terms, in a geography where the extreme consequences of violence against women have not yet been resolved and which contributes to answer our objective. As a methodology of research, we combined literature review focused on the representations of women in the Islamic world, a series of three interviews conducted by the authors to the Iranian film director to determine her intentions and to understand the contemporary Iranian as a primary source of information, and the use of a animation model of analysis created specifically for animated film (Peres, 2019).
