Speaking at a ceremony marking Woman’s Day and Mother’s Day on Wednesday, Pezeshkian said that men and women “build life together and are responsible for raising children and the future-makers of the country.”
He said that the role of women and mothers carries “a very high level of importance and value.”
Criticizing “wrong beliefs” that treat women as tools, the president said, “I believe that those who do not see women and their valuable place in society are blind.”
Pezeshkian concluded by congratulating all Iranian women and mothers, saying he believes fully in their abilities and worth.
