The advisor to the President’s daughter, who is the president, is symbolically present in the government’s trips.
The President’s advisor, in response to the frequent presence of Pezeshkian’s daughter and son-in-law in trips and official programs, said that his daughter is a symbolic representation for the presence of women alongside the government.
This justification is presented while many women’s rights activists consider the absence of independent and expert women in key positions as a sign of structural inequality in the government.
