Tehran mayor says gender segregation a question of dignity
The mayor of Tehran has defended plans to segregate city employees by gender, dismissing criticism in the foreign media with, “Let the BBC talk.”
Tehran Mayor Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf defended municipal projects that have separated workers by gender and accused foreign and domestic media of misrepresenting plans to create separate working environments.
Before the official sermon at Tehran's Friday prayers today, July 18, Ghalibaf said, “In the last few days, foreign radio and media have followed false allegations and some domestic media have joined in and said that the municipality wants to separate the sexes and separate the men and women and put a wall between them.”
