Maryam Rajavi: "Velayat-e Faqih, the continuous rule of repression and violence against women

On February 27 on the occasion of International Women's Day Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance held a conference in Paris. Mr. Maryam Rajavi said: In a few days, we will be celebrating the International Women's Day. March 8thcalls for lauding women who strive for equality and freedom. We salute the women who pioneered the struggle against two dictatorships in Iran:the Fedayeen, the Mojahedin and other combatant women such as Fatemeh Amini, Marzieh Oskouii, Ashraf Rajavi and all the women who rose up against the religious dictatorship in Iran. 

Fundamentalism is a proliferating cancer threatening every one. Extremism under the banner of Islam - including Daesh -has spread all over the world from the coasts of the Atlantic to the Mediterranea. And the main victims are women. It is, therefore, necessary to recognize the epicenter of this great calamity, how to uproot it and determine the role of women in this endeavor. Maryam Rajavi: With women’s active and equal participation in political leadership, we will turn this century into the era of women's emancipation.
