Conference Report
After the close of the fourth international
women’s conference in Peking in September 1995, ACI organized this gathering with two
of its speakers having been present at the Peking World Conference.
They presented a report on the findings of
the conference and its findings and decisions were discussed.
The second part of this gathering addressed
the problems of women in Iran, their historical and present standing which included topics
such as legal rights, education and employment. Socio-economic issues of a growing country
and the role of women within it was another of the topics presented for discussion.
The issues concerning Post-revolution Iran
and its consequences for Iranian women who despite numerous restrictions and pressures
have fought for their rights and place within the Iranian society was one of the
highlights of this gathering.
The participation of Iranian women as
independents, members of organizations or representatives of the Iranian government at the
Peking meeting and their continued insistence on their rights by women in and out of Iran
demonstrated their determination in achieving their rightful place within the Iranian
society.
The conference benefited from the lively
discussions in the question and answer sessions with the audience.
The day concluded with the participants
stressing the need to bring to front the problems facing Iranian women in Iran and
fighting for improvements.
