It has been few days since Eshrat Shayegh (member of parliament) came up with the idea of executing prostitutes.
I am still in a mental shock and can’t digest the fact that how can an human being, a member of parliament and a mother associate herself with such evil thoughts.
Mrs. Shayegh prescribes punishments such as imprisonment and death penalty like she is prescribing Aspirin for a simple headache.
What bothers me the most is her easiness of mind while she talks and deals with these issues. If we were living under a democratic system, not only had she to apologize to the people, but also had to resign her post.(With Iran’s current system, this is just a far fetched dream.)
All I can do is to condemn Mrs. Shayegh’s opinions in my own private space which is my weblog. I condemn her not only for her disrespect towards women, but against anything which is good and humane.
One thing which I can’t apprehend is that why organizations such as: Iranian feminist Tribune or Women In Iran didn’t react more strongly?. I just wish that there could be a platform in which we could all react.
I know I might seem rather naive but doing something is better than not doing anything. Don’t you think?
So, please if you have any good ideas get in touch.
