Fatemeh Rake’ii, secretary general of Muslim women’s new thinkers’ society, said, “There are no laws in Iran to prevent violence against women at home.” In an interview published by the state-run ISKA news agency, Aug. 13, she said although there are a number of women in
the parliament, but unfortunately they have acted very weakly in terms of demanding women’s rights.
In another article published by the state-ran ISNA news agency, Aug. 12, mullah Nateq-Nouri, former speaker of the mullahs’ parliament and member of the Assembly of Experts, said, “In our parliament, the plans and views against women are actually brought up by female deputies.”
