Is it Possible For Iran to have female minister?

Ahmadinejad has introduced new era for Iran by nominating three women for top ministerial positions, his choice of three females for cabinet posts can be interpreted either as a deceitful act to compensate for post election events or as a sign of government attention to the large portion of Iranian population , women! These three potential female ministers can be a great move in respect to woman's right in Iran,
in an instant comparison between Khatami (the reformist president) who limited himself to give one sub ministerial post for a woman, Ahmadinejad's decision to choose three female ministers is Bold and beautiful decision , Although Ahmadinejad will have to face with parliament to win over his historic decision of nomination females for ministerial position.
The tree potential ministers are:
1- fatemeh Ajorloo, minister of social welfare
2- Marziyeh wahid dastjerdi , minister of health and medical education
3- Susan keshavarz, minister of Education

fateme Ajorloo will have the opportunity to support organization which work on women's issue , Dastjerdi can address the women's health top preferences which needs female friendly faces, and keshavarz who holds PHD in philosophy of education is one of the young faces who is unknown to most Iranians including me!

in my opinion even if Ahmadinejad's female nominees cant get the parliament approval , Ahmadinejad's choice of nominating three women ministers will be ranked as the first mature act at elevating formal position of women in the government within Iran's history where the reformists failed at doing so, so here Ahmadi nejad proved that he is capable of reforms , in addition Ahmadinejad defeated his opponents by such a deft reaction to clear his anti reform image portrayed by his opponents.

  1. Nice article!

    I see the nomination more of a deceitful act than a sincere reform, however it doesn't devalue the measure. After all it shows his trust in women and their management abilities. It also shows his tolerance for such a fundamental reforms.

  2. Frahaad,
    It is actually sort of reform maneuver,
    and we should be optimistic rather than having a negative view towards such acts,

    even though those women are among the most hardliners but Ahmadinejad proved he is always a man of surprises !
