She added that Iran should review its laws in order to end the discrimination against women and should join international conventions that safe-guard womens rights, especially in the workspace.
Hossein Mousavi has so far been silent about women's rights , but in a pressconference at April 6th, he said that he would stop the police patrolling the streets and arresting citizens for failing to observe the Islamic dress code.
