“Some 180 women are appointed in governor offices as advisor on women and family affairs,
but their posts exist only in form not in substance and no expert work was ever done on these appointments,” said Fahimeh Farahmandpour, advisor on women’s affairs at the Interior Ministry, at the 11th meeting of the presidential deputy on Women and Family Affairs with the ministries’ advisors on women’s affairs.
She said, “There are some 180 women in the governor offices who have been tasked by other agencies, but they do not have any employment relations with those agencies and so we have asked the Interior Ministry’s directorate on development and human resources to determine the status of these people.”
