Joe Biden praised Iranian women and criticized the government
Joe Biden, the President of the United States, issued a message on the occasion of March 8th, International Women’s Day, in which he criticized the Islamic Republic of Iran’s government and praised Iranian women.
In his message, Mr. Biden stated that despite several decades of progress in many parts of the world, the rights of women and girls are still under attack, holding back entire societies.
The President of the United States said we see this situation in Afghanistan, where the Taliban prevent women and girls from going to school and working. We see it in Iran, where the regime brutally suppresses the voices of women who courageously stand for their freedom.
In this message, Mr. Biden said that the United States stands with women and girls around the world in the vital work of supporting and advancing human rights and works to protect and promote women’s political participation and human rights.
