Iranians can educate free up to PHD level in Public universities.

Very secure employment in Iran with free transportation to the factories, plus employers have to provide a free meal a day according to Iranian Labour Law. These are dreams in west...

From reading some of the comments below, it seems that what this woman said about the reality of Iran, went in one ear, and went out the other. How ironic that they speak that Iranians aren't free, and yet these commentators are slaves of the false media. Very stupid, and ignorant.

70 0/0 of university student in iran are women but they dont have freedom because of government.

[Tula49]

Exactly - she has no idea what is going on there. If things are so great in Iran, why is there a revolution going on there right now with millions of people in the streets? And if she went around like that in Iran without a veil, she would probably be beaten or flogged.

Trade unions are illegal in Iran, women are barred from a lot of public sector jobs, gays are executed, etc. There is nothing progressive about Iran and the mullahs need to be overthrown. End of story.

woman in Iran are just like woman in any muslim country with no rights at all they can't vote.

[modir23]

she`s 80% right.

You'r talking about America right?

In january alone, 600,000 jobs were lost in America.

Their foreign debt is 11 Trillion dollars!

So you must be talking about America. Iran under sanctions is doing fine, yes there are poor people, yes there is inflation.

But inflation in Iran is due to many factors that uneducated people do not realize.

[YasharMJ]

Israel is not free,

they banned the Arab parties from running! i dont see that as much of a democracy.

Also, Israel has no freedom of press. that was evident in the Gaza war. Where they forbid pictures or videos of the war, and they barrd media groups in Gaza.

[YasharMJ]

Yes women can vote in Iran.

70% of university students in Iran are women.

[lovechild872]

[Learnthebush]
