Prominent women as role models for all believers
The Quran gives examples for all believers, not just for women. Who are these role models? One is the wife of Pharaoh and the other is Maryam [Mary], the daughter of Imran. In other words, everyone should look at these two women to see whether they’re on the correct path or not.

Iranian women have made great progress since the victory of the Revolution
The Islamic Republic has shown a Muslim woman observing the Islamic dress code can progress further than others in all areas and be influential both in society and at home. Guided by this view, our women have made great progress in numerous fields since the victory of the Revolution.

The Islamic Republic proved hijab doesn't hinder progress
The West insists on exporting its culture regarding women. They even argue that if a woman observes hijab and sets these limitations for herself, she won't be able to progress! The Islamic Republic has refuted that nonsensical logic. Women's achievements in intellectual and research centers in the Islamic Republic are unprecedented in Iran’s history. We've never had this many women scholars and intellectuals in Iran. Praise God, our women are among the best in global science, social, political and athletic fields.

Paying women less for the same work is totally unjust
In many Western countries today, women are paid less than men for doing the same work. That’s how they are today, which is totally unjust. Safeguarding a woman’s security, dignity, and honor is one of women’s rights. A woman’s dignity must be protected. The evil capitalist logic tramples on and destroys women’s dignity.

Destruction of family in the West resulted in corruption
Fatherless children, eroding familial relationships, ruining the family structure, gangs preying on young girls, and increasing sexual promiscuity all under the name of freedom! Such corruption reflects the status of families in the West and they label it “freedom!"
