The Leader made the remarks at the third forum on strategic thoughts, which was held in Tehran on Wednesday, with the participation of a number of Iranian scholars. The theme of the forums was women and family.
“The role of women in the campaign (against the Iranian dictator Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s regime), in the victory of the Islamic Revolution, and after the revolution, particularly during the extremely difficult time of the Sacred Defense (1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war), and in various areas is an effective, special, and unique role, which cannot be measured with any criterion,” the Leader said.
Ayatollah Khamenei also advised scholars, researchers, and the media to pay due attention to the issues of women and family from the viewpoint of Islam.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader criticized the West’s attitude toward women as insulting and said that this attitude has damaged the dignity and status of women in Western societies.
In the first forum on strategic thoughts, which was held on November 3, 2010, the Leader outlined the features of an Islamic-Iranian model of progress. Justice was the theme of the second forum, which was held on May 17, 2011.
