Women, as half of the population, have the right to safe and unrestricted use of public spaces, yet in Shahid Beheshti Town in Mashhad, their presence in the urban space is limited and marginalized. This study critically examines the spatial exclusion of immigrant Arab women, aiming to explain the barriers to their presence and analyze the relationships among these barriers. The theoretical model of the research is grounded in the concepts of gender and space, spatial justice, and cultural domination, and employs Fairclough's three-dimensional model of critical discourse analysis to examine the role of norms, power, and gender inequalities in shaping women's spatial experience. Sampling was purposeful (snowball sampling), and data were collected through 12 unstructured interviews with women residing in Shahid Beheshti Town in Mashhad until theoretical saturation was reached. The findings indicate that gender-blind urban design, interacting with restrictive cultural norms, spatial injustice, poor environmental quality, and the absence of the right to presence, reproduces a cycle of women's exclusion from public space and pushes them toward private and enclosed spaces. Rectifying this situation requires redesigning urban spaces with a gender-responsive and justice-oriented approach to ensure women's presence in the town in an equal, safe, and effective manner.
