The ceremony, which was held in the presence of Dr. Fatemeh Tabatabaei, the daughter- in- law of Imam Khomeini and Hojjat al-Islam Ali Komsari, the head of institute for compilation and publication of Imam Khomeini’s works, shed light and explored the ideals and dynamic thought of the late founder of the Islamic Repuplic in this regard.
According to Imam Khomeini, Women are great trainer of society. Men are brought up by women. Happiness and misery of a country depends on women.
Imam Khomeini believed that: ‘during the previous regime of Shah, women were suffering from much more agonies than they did in pre-Islam period. In both periods women were suffering and it was Islam that saved them. Imam Khomeini also emphasizes that: ‘woman should possess equal rights with those of man.
Islam has stressed the equality of men’s and women’s rights in determining their fates. This means that they both should enjoy all kinds of freedom. They should be free in selecting, being selected, thinking, educating as well as working in every kind of economic activity
