Maryam Rajavi: "Pledge for Parity: Women United against Fundamentalism"

NCRI - On the occasion of the International Women's Day, a grand gathering entitled, "Pledge for Parity: Women United against Fundamentalism" was held in the presence of the Iranian Resistance's President-elect Maryam Rajavi and a number of the political movement from 26 countries and four continents on February 26, 2016. A fundamentalist regime has been ruling Iran for more than decades. Its main character is enmity to women. In the past three, four decades, nowhere in the world have women been tortured and executed in such great numbers or assaulted in prisons as they have been in Iran. Mr. Maryam Rajavi added: "Mandatory veil, is an all-inclusive and permanent tool for suppression of women. In a matter of only one year, 3.6 million women were inspected and questioned on the streets for" improper veiling "and 18,000 women were put on trial . Common practice of violence and rape against women and widespread addiction and misery of women are among products of the mullahs' corrupt Sharia. In Iran under the rule of the mullahs, polygamy, anti-human treatment of women and girl children, sexual abuse of girl children under 9 years of age are justified and imposed on women. Velayat-e Faqih is a senseless monopoly that is confronting women's equal rights full force. Maryam Rajavi said: They have turned Iran into a big prison for women. Mrs. Rajavi addressed Iranian women and said: You and your pioneering sisters in Camp Liberty can and must sweep away the mullahs' religious tyranny and all the fundamentalist groups emanating from it under any name. You can restore freedom to Iran, peace to the region and security to the world. You deserve to take your fate in your own hands in an Iran without Velayat-e Faqih. Women of the Iranian Resistance struggle so that the people of Iran, and especially women, could be free and able to exercise their right in determining their own destiny.
