Women are taking part in less than 1% of political activities, said Zahra Zamani, a member of the City Council in Yasuj.
“87% of women in this province are economically inactive,” she said.
“Low participation in sports and the lack of gymnasiums for women have increased their problems in this province. Province officials must pay close attention to these matters and take action to resolve them,” Zamani added.
“48% of women living in rural areas and tribal societies are facing serious hygienic problems,” she concluded.
