Women Right's in Iran - part 2 of 7

This program is a discussion of human rights with a focus on women's rights in Iran. Covered are a brief timeline of Iran's political history and women's contributions to human rights, past and present. A comparison of the current political atmosphere with Iran's past and future is highlighted, and what efforts are being made toward a future change in policy. The current regime in Iran is not supported by a majority of its citizenry; it is currently unstable and volatile. But there is an alternative to a war with Iran that is also an alternative to appeasement. There is a third choice that could effectively end the funding and exportation of terror and the flagrant violation of human rights being perpetrated on Iranian citizens by its government; an alternative that could prevent the promotion of further human rights violations. There is an alternative that is peaceful, intelligent and democratically organized, and legitimized by international law. The third alternative needs neither financial nor military support from the U.S.

we don't have to be ashamed of the name Iran, although i would have rather Persia instead of Iran, but the name is changed already and there are many other Iranians than only Persians. Mussavi is Turkish and not Persians! Farah Diba was not Persian, only Soraya was Persian...does that mean that Farah Diba such a great woman in our history doesn't deserve respect?

If you love your country and care about it's future, stop fighting with each other, make peace with each other

Realize that Turkey is different than Iran, in Turkey everyone is Turk or Kurd, nationalism works in Turkey, but not in Iran. if we want freedom and democracy, we should stop fighting, we should respect everyone's right....persians/Turks/Lor/Ku­rd/Gileki/Mazandarani/Beluch/T­urkmen/Ghashghai and minority Arabs....Muslims/Christians/Je­ws/Zartoshti/Bahaie/socialist/­communist/Gay...etc

don't fight here, if you care about Iran, stop nationalizing and fighting wigh each other.

Iran is not Persia anymore, Iran has 8 millions Turkish speaking Azery who are not Persian, 4 million Turkmen are not Persian, and we have so many nations like Beluch, Kurd and Christians, Jew even 400.000 Arabs living on Iraqi border in Khoozestan. And they are all Iranian.... we can't go to 4000 years ago to build a Persia again...each time we talk about Persia, we hurt the minorities.

Marg bar shah va sheykh

Down with SHAH and Mullas!!!!

The fact that wemen could wear mini skirts before revolution 1979 not means that SHAH was the right man for Iran.

Majles or Parlement had no power in the Shahs time and the elections was not demokratic.

shut the fuck up. thanks to ignorant muslims this country is now what it is today. fuck the revolution islam is a load of crap and if you don't like my opinion don't give me a bullshit come back or bother with what i truly feel over this issue. IRAN IS A PERSIAN COUNTRY, NOT ARAB AND IT WILL ALWAYS STAY THAT WAY NO MATTER WHAT ARABS TRY TO DO TO CHANGE IRAN AND IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THAT GOD DAMN ARABS THEN BACK OFF IRAN.

ARABIAN GULF? FUCK IT'S THE PERSIAN GULF GOD DAMN IT!

NO in the last Iranian Parliament we had 13 female rep

the current 9

U.S. senate has 13 and thats a record

we have more women teachers than man

In Turkey women can't wear a scarf if they want to go to school so they are not a Muslim country

and in UAE no women holds any kind of power in the government

Yes Iran forces women to wear scarfs and in my opinion its wrong but would you rather wear a scarf and be able to do everything else or not wear one & have a perception of freedom

You're right, women have far greater rights in Iran compared to Saudi Arabia. More and more university graduates in Iran are women. But what about Dubai and Turkey? They are middle eastern countries, wouldn't they be a better example to other middle eastern countries, even to Iran?

I do not support the monarchy. Nor do I agree with Rajaie-Khorassani's cultural relativism argument of 1981 regarding the UDHR. The UDHR is compatible with Islam.People in Iran do travel abroad.But Iran's weak economy makes the future for its youth bleak. Unemployment rises while Iranians are denied basic rights such as freedom of expression, religion and equality.The US and UK have no respect for democracy abroad. Iranians had a democracy under Mosaddegh, yet it was crushed by a CIA led coup.
