Iran: women repressed, eliminated from state organs

Shahindokht Molaverdi, Hassan Rouhani ’s vice president in women and family affairs, presented specific numbers and admitted that the presence of women in the Iranian regime’s so-called parliament is merely 3%, and just 1% in decision-making bodies. (September 7, 2015)

Prior to this and in remarks obviously intended to increase pressure on women, Mullah Makarem Shiraz stipulated that people must be demanding more (!) from the government on imposing pressure on women.
