Iran backs its first female minister!

“Iranian MPs have approved the first woman minister in the 30-year history of the Islamic republic.” according to a report I read at http://news.bbc.co.uk

The site describes “MARZIEH VAHID DASTJERDI” as being aged 50 and said that she qualified as a gynecologist at Tehran university and has been a leading activist in women’s health. They also state that her nomination was criticised as she has no experience of government or running a hospital. She has served as an MP for an Islamic physicians’ party, spearheading a campaign to introduce segregated hospitals.

I say Congratulations Iran and Marzieh Vahid Dastjerdi …
