Hossein Raghfar, member of the Iranian regime’s working group of experts on women and family affairs said, “Poverty seen in single-mother families in Iran is 1.3 times more than single-father families.
Poverty among women has been 1.3 and 1.4 times more than men in the past few years. Nearly 12% of the country’s families are run by single-mothers, and around 45% of these families are living in in poverty, while this ratio for men is 30%.”
