Rabiei: Iran Govt wants more participation for girls

Rabiei, the former minister of labor and social security, made the remarks through a twitter post on the occasion of national Girls' Day on June 23.

Birthday anniversary of Hazrat Masoumeh (AS), the beloved sister of Imam Reza, the eighth Imam of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him), is named as Girls' Day in Iran.

Girls are those who create half of the society, so the government should allay their concerns about future, Rabiei wrote.

Families should be kinder to their girls, Rabiei noted.

He expressed deep concern about reports of violence and violation of human rights of the girls in some families, saying that the entire society should respect the basic rights of the girls.
