In the meeting in Tehran with Guatemala’s head of parliamentary Education and Technology Commission, Head of the Women’s Fraction at the mullahs’ parliament said: “Western communities’ laws on gender equality cannot contribute to protection of the status and dignity of women and families.
Based on the teachings of Islam and the Quran gender equity is beyond gender equality.”
Fatemeh Rahbar added, “The common instructions adopted in international organizations on women are not compatible with the cultures of various countries and cannot help in the development of women’s status in the world.”
