They have a National Women's Day. The first female minister of government was appointed in 2009. Shirin Ebadi became the first woman to serve as a judge in Iran in 1975. 6% of the Iranian parliament is madeup of female MPs.

    They still have a long ways to go but they are not nearly as bad off as you are trying to suggest.

    I think it's unfortunate that your response to the facts I posted was cherry-picked pictures.

    You are thinking of Saudi Arabia. Iran is fairly westernized in its treatment of women.

    A picture is worth a thousand words. Right?

    You can make excuses for the way women are treated in Iran as much as you want.

    A few visuals tell the real story.

    About your educational claims? They too are not a fraction of what they once were.

    There is no defense for the way women are treated in Iran.

    None.

    Iran is the perfect example of what happens when religious zealots get their way.

    Be thankful I didn't show the corporal punishment photos. They are not for the squeamish.

    Please show me where I was discussing members instead of the topic.

    I suspect you are referring to my responses to you, but they are just that: Responses to you, not discussions of your perceived shortcomings with a third party.

    Saudi has it's own problems but I'm talking about Iran, where the women were once free but now are kept subordinate under layers of fabric.

    Iran said Sunday it will impose sanctions on 15 US companies for supporting Israel's "terrorist actions" as part of reprisals for the increasing pressure being announced by Washington lawmakers
    .


    The decision, which is largely symbolic since the firms do not do business with Iran, come two days after the US announced new sanctions against groups and individuals that it accuses of collaborating with Iran's weapons programme.


    The sanctions target firms that provide arms and equipment to Israel "for use against the Palestinians", IRNA said.
    "All transactions with these firms are forbidden, their assets will be seized and their officials will not be able to obtain a visa," it added.


    The list included defence firms such as United Technologies, Military Armament Corporation and Bushmaster Firearms International, as well as Re/Max Real Estate, which Tehran accuses of "buying and selling homes in settlements located in the occupied territories".


    In another tit-for-tat move, Iran's parliamentary foreign affairs committee said it would propose a new law labelling the US army and CIA as terrorist groups.....snip~

    Actually the facts show that women have better access to education and higher involvement in and graduation from higher schools now than they did prior to 1979.
