'Women in Iran have not fought for their rights because they already enjoy their rights,' Jamileh Alamolhoda, wife of Iranian President Raisi, tells Newsweek.
So, what then would your assessment be of the women's rights situation in many Western countries, even specifically here in New York right now, where critics say women enjoy more freedoms than in Iran?
In Iran, women have very close family relations. Cousins, all members of the family, they are very much interconnected. The relationships between the family members are not so fragile, as opposed to here in the West, where it is very much fragile and people are very busy with what they have to do to live their life, to survive.
But if you look at the culture in Iran, the depth of the civilization, it is quite different than what is in the West. And what we hope is that we could digest all the cultures so that we can have a common understanding and we can unite in the face of all the assaults and the attacks coming from the West. If you let me compare something, look at the level of civilization in Iran as opposed to the West, there is a very striking difference, because it dates back to thousands of years.
So, the administration and the Islamic Consultative Assembly have actually been busy discharging their duties and responsibilities. But what we have to pay attention to is the role played by the society and the general populace, because they have to be united with each other and, with the help of each other, be able to digest all the differences, the non-similarities.
Stressing that indeed all the sanctions are very challenging for the society, the Iranian people and generally the Islamic Republic of Iran has managed to stand on its feet in the midst of the sanctions. We've had difficult times with the sanctions, but we have really managed to excel and make considerable achievements and progress owing to the existence of the sanctions. Because when sanctions are placed on a country, it has to find a way itself to get through and find a way to do better.
