Presidential
deputy Shahindokht Molaverdi depicted a grim picture of the situation of women
in Iran in the final day of the meetings of “regional popular organizations –
RPOs” in the northern city of Gorgan on January 4.
Molaverdi
acknowledged that educated women are widely disappointed and that the
unemployment rate for educated women has doubled.
Expressing
frustration over Iran’s gender gap ranking --141st among 145 countries—she
revealed that there has been a regression with regards to women who have not
been able to continue their education.
She

rise, presently standing at 2.5 million.
