I am so saddened to hear that Iran has been elected to a chair on the United Nations' Commission on the Status of Women. Let me tell you about women's rights in Iran. First of all, we are second-class citizens in Iran. We don't allow a woman to go out of the home or out of the country without her husband's approval. As a women, if you are an adulterer, you are stoned to death, while men are exempt because they can have multiple wives. You cannot divorce, even if your husband is beating you up and you have a miserable life. The children you give birth to go to your husband, and if your husband passes away, you, as the mother, cannot have your kids, but your husband's family can take care of your kids.
You are asking me how the situation is in Iran. I am so sad.
