Alwaght- Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran rebuked on Wednesday the Western governments' fake advocacy for women’s rights, stressing that fake gestures come despite the fact that women and girls are subjected to different forms of abuse in the West.
Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks in the Iranian capital city of Tehran as he addressed a group of Iranian women in the run-up to the celebrations commemorating the birthday anniversary of Hazrat Fatemeh Zahra (SA), the beloved daughter of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
“The absolute brazenness of the West comes into sight when it presents itself as the forerunner of advocacy for women’s right, whilst it is responsible for flurries of blows dealt to the dignity and prestige of women. This could be explained as utter shamelessness.
He stated that one would feel deeply ashamed to know about last year’s social movement, in which Western women publicized their experiences of sexual abuse or sexual harassment.
“This is what they suggest by women’s rights and freedom. This is by no means freedom, but rather utter slavery,” the Leader said.
