1 00:00:05,310 --> 00:00:14,750 So it's really, really a great pleasure for me to introduce our speaker to say Professor Murray Luddy, a full body, 2 00:00:14,750 --> 00:00:26,210 was the professor of demography and social sciences and the director of research at the National Centre for Scientific Research Centres in Paris. 3 00:00:26,210 --> 00:00:32,670 She also is a member of the Centre for Turkish, Ottoman, Balkan and Central Asian Studies. 4 00:00:32,670 --> 00:00:38,480 Settle back. That's which she has joined since 2001 19. 5 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:50,300 The main focus of Professor Laddies research is on relations, the relationship between demographic changes and socio political transformations, 6 00:00:50,300 --> 00:01:00,270 using that as a lens to look at other changes which are taking place in the society and. 7 00:01:00,270 --> 00:01:07,980 One of the main areas of her research has been on women and young people as agents of change, 8 00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:15,180 political change in Iran, which is she's going to present part of that research today to us. 9 00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:27,480 And I'm delighted to say that this is about basically the Iranian population policies, that the state's population policies in Iran, 10 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:33,510 which had very successfully managed to bring down population growth back in the 80s and 90s, 11 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:40,230 and now they have turned the clock back on or adopting a pro nativist policy. 12 00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:48,460 So a marriage is going to talk to us today about how the new policies are going to affect women's rights in Iraq. 13 00:01:48,460 --> 00:01:54,870 And she has published extensively in the airport list of publications is too long for me, a visit to the Internet. 14 00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:58,880 We'll show you what she has been working on over the years. 15 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:09,150 But she recently had a book published on the island called Puplick Islamic Dulong Voodoo Land Tavio, which was published in 2020. 16 00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:16,890 Can you show the book, please? It is in French. And it kind of looks lovely. 17 00:02:16,890 --> 00:02:22,410 And one of her latest articles in the Journal of Iranian Studies has been The 18 00:02:22,410 --> 00:02:27,900 Islamic Republic of Iran's New Population Policy and Recent Changes in Fertility, 19 00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:34,650 which was published in March twenty twenty one. So my daughter, further ado, I am. 20 00:02:34,650 --> 00:02:38,790 And please do remember to mute your camera as everybody. 21 00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:45,900 You can send your questions, write them and send them to me at the end of the talk and we will raise your questions, which many will answer. 22 00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:49,960 Thank you very much, Mary. Thank you very much. 23 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:56,610 Sorry for this introduction. Before starting, I'd like to thank you for the invitation. 24 00:02:56,610 --> 00:03:06,150 I'm really very pleased to contribute the talk to this research seminar. 25 00:03:06,150 --> 00:03:19,230 So in my email to Twitter, put me at 14 on the pretext of the threat of an ageing population due to birth control and the drop in fertility. 26 00:03:19,230 --> 00:03:31,400 The Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, drew up a strategic programme in the Fortune article they created called Population Control Policies. 27 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:39,870 It did. It is the matter of deploying all means possible to reverse Canada's infertility and 28 00:03:39,870 --> 00:03:48,240 especially to reach a target population of one hundred and fifty million people. 29 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:54,150 The first question is whether this Neil population policy justified. 30 00:03:54,150 --> 00:04:05,590 Is Iran on the brink of widespread ageing? And the number he called declined the analysis of the demographic situation and of population. 31 00:04:05,590 --> 00:04:10,910 Perspective provides some clear answers. 32 00:04:10,910 --> 00:04:25,590 Over the past two decades, the age structure of the Iranian population has changed significantly as a result of very rapid fertility transition. 33 00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:37,860 According to the 20 see, a 16th census out of 18 million inhabitants, only 24 percent were under fifteen. 34 00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:52,420 While the proportion of the working age population, age 50 to 64, reached a very high percentage of 70 percent. 35 00:04:52,420 --> 00:05:02,140 Those 65 and all, they're represented only six percent of the total population. 36 00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:17,620 That's the ratio the ratio of economically active population to economically inactive population was at a crucial moment of demographic change. 37 00:05:17,620 --> 00:05:28,670 This demographic window or gift thus offers an exceptional historic opportunity. 38 00:05:28,670 --> 00:05:37,130 To encourage economic growth. Provided that the states succeed in creating a favour. 39 00:05:37,130 --> 00:05:42,990 Well, in I want a moment. For job recovery. 40 00:05:42,990 --> 00:05:49,320 But the Islamic Republic was wasting its active population potential. 41 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:59,140 And instead of recommending the establishment of even primaries, it proved Missouri policies. 42 00:05:59,140 --> 00:06:13,270 Conducive to taking advantage of this demographic opportunity to sell property there has chosen to highlight the ageing of the population. 43 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:20,970 And of course, this an imminent ageing of the population is real, it is real and will. 44 00:06:20,970 --> 00:06:30,640 We'll see. This situation demands the urgent implementation of social social convert. 45 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:39,960 For the elderly, for instance, retirement, perks, pension, all age insurance and Special K. 46 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:51,660 In no way this population policy will constitute an adequate response to the current ageing of the population, 47 00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:58,080 according the U.S. population projection, in 2050, 48 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:12,830 Iran reached one hundred and three million inhabitants remain one of the most populous countries in the war between 78 and 19 place at this date, 49 00:07:12,830 --> 00:07:31,020 20 50. Nearly a quarter of the population will be 65 or older, but the share of working age population will still be the largest at 60 percent. 50 00:07:31,020 --> 00:07:38,070 These contests, that data show that in the foreseeable future, 51 00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:46,860 Iran will certainly not be trying to beat decline their population or Danish generational. 52 00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:52,370 No real new. This conflict. 53 00:07:52,370 --> 00:08:05,730 Hypothesis that the new population policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, initiated by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and confirmed by the supreme leader. 54 00:08:05,730 --> 00:08:12,830 Response foremost to political and ideological considerations. 55 00:08:12,830 --> 00:08:18,400 So what does these concentration pristinely? 56 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:27,680 There are 14 article that decree called General Population Policies are drawn up in a key word, 57 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:35,300 quote, term, which may give rise to different applications depending on the context. 58 00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:45,170 For example, the target of reaching a population of one hundred and fifteen million is not specifically state. 59 00:08:45,170 --> 00:08:55,580 But the first article stipulates that it is necessary to promote the dynamic growth and youthfulness of the population. 60 00:08:55,580 --> 00:09:04,230 Why an increase in fertility which should be above the replacement threshold without space? 61 00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:10,900 It is specifying the level of fertility target. 62 00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:16,480 According to certain policymakers, the figure is trade children. 63 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,980 Why? For others, it is five to six children. 64 00:09:20,980 --> 00:09:30,550 Article two, amongst others, insist on the need to remove obstacles to reducing age at marriage. 65 00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:42,490 Yet no practical indications are given. Several of the decrease in article refer to the need to cover the cost associated 66 00:09:42,490 --> 00:09:50,050 with pregnancy and maternity for infertility treatment for men and women, 67 00:09:50,050 --> 00:09:54,190 and for nutrition and health needs, too, 68 00:09:54,190 --> 00:10:06,070 including lessons in public schooling about funding families and the merits of so doing and so on and so forth. 69 00:10:06,070 --> 00:10:13,270 All six articles seems to focus on demographic considerations. 70 00:10:13,270 --> 00:10:22,220 Six others reveal the ideological turner after recommendations. 71 00:10:22,220 --> 00:10:34,650 First one, promoting and institutionalising the Islamic and Iranian way of life to counter undesirable aspects of Western life, 72 00:10:34,650 --> 00:10:48,230 sex, to be enforcing the competence and the competence of national identity, which are Iranian, Islamic and revolutionary. 73 00:10:48,230 --> 00:11:03,360 Three, creating new settlement zones, particularly in the island along the coast of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman for managing. 74 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:15,980 Immigration and immigration in concert with general population policies, five, promoting consensus and social integration. 75 00:11:15,980 --> 00:11:23,840 Across the territory, in particular, in the border zones, in the mark, Iranian expatriates. 76 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,440 And finally, 77 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:37,850 six encouraging Iranian expatriates to return and invest in the country and thereby benefit from the possibilities and capabilities in it, 78 00:11:37,850 --> 00:11:50,090 being well aware that the predominant family model in Iran is no is to marry late and have a small nuclear family. 79 00:11:50,090 --> 00:11:58,340 The Islamic Republic's policy makers also know that the prospect of reaching a target 80 00:11:58,340 --> 00:12:10,610 population of one hundred and fifty million Iranians in the new in the near future is utopian. 81 00:12:10,610 --> 00:12:19,170 This, to my mind, is what the decree never explicitly mentioned, this target. 82 00:12:19,170 --> 00:12:33,040 Why, no, the hinting at the IDF people in the entire territory, by means other than rising Iranian fertility rate. 83 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:41,030 The first man could be expectorate Iranians, as mentioned in Article twelve of the decree. 84 00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:49,970 Ever given that the majority of this expatriate Iranians oppose the Islamic regime, 85 00:12:49,970 --> 00:13:00,400 assuming they are they agree to return to Iran, they might instead end up causing political unrest for the regime. 86 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:07,840 This is why it is unlikely that this policy will be a priority of the regime. 87 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:17,470 Why mention is made of managing immigration and immigration in compliance with 88 00:13:17,470 --> 00:13:25,410 general population policies without any practical indication on this matter. 89 00:13:25,410 --> 00:13:34,700 It mate, it may be supposed that the Islamic Republic could envisage, including greeting the Iranian population, 90 00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:44,920 the couple of million Afghans living in Iran as refugees and or as undocumented migrant. 91 00:13:44,920 --> 00:14:00,060 Especially as since 2014. Afghans enlisted by the Revolutionary Guards are wrong as militiamen called for two million to fight 92 00:14:00,060 --> 00:14:11,520 alongside the Syrian army have received Iranian industrial morality for themselves and their family. 93 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:18,330 So it is very likely that by Iran and expatriates, the government. 94 00:14:18,330 --> 00:14:26,310 I mean, Slavic Republic of Iran referred to these Afghans recently. 95 00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:44,040 Naturaliste. This mess policy of taking in migrants and integrating them may also concern Shiite militia recruited by their pastor in Pakistan. 96 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:53,780 Called They Love You and fighting alongside the Revolutionary Guards in Syria. 97 00:14:53,780 --> 00:15:02,840 This practise by the pastor, Ron, seems fairly close to the spirit of the twenty fourteen decree and suggest 98 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:10,240 that where that where immigrant population included in the Iranian population, 99 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:16,550 that prime benefits years would be Shiite. 100 00:15:16,550 --> 00:15:21,530 Furthermore, these recommendations are for border zones. 101 00:15:21,530 --> 00:15:25,760 That's very fair pay for all regions. 102 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,860 People up need by Souness. 103 00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:44,980 In so far as this soon, particularly those boarding Afghanistan and Pakistan in the east and Iraq and Turkey to the west seem per porous with intense, 104 00:15:44,980 --> 00:15:52,360 regular, two way secret circulation of populations from the same ethnic, 105 00:15:52,360 --> 00:16:01,890 linguistic and religious group, the state appears determined to kerb these flows. 106 00:16:01,890 --> 00:16:13,070 In light of this Article 13 of the decree, which calls to reinforce the competence of Iranian Islamic Andrew Woloshin, 107 00:16:13,070 --> 00:16:21,540 that a national identity and promote consensus and social integration across the territory, 108 00:16:21,540 --> 00:16:32,270 in particular in the waters and amongst Iranian expatriates, takes on its full meaning. 109 00:16:32,270 --> 00:16:38,780 The objective is, above all, to provide Iran with a large population, 110 00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:51,330 but additionally one who adders to the values of the Islamic Republic defined as the components national identity. 111 00:16:51,330 --> 00:16:56,280 It is most likely that the Islamic Republic follows this path. 112 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:06,040 And for these reasons, the new population policy of the Islamic Republic may be defined as population ist. 113 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:18,700 Does the actual yet concealed objective of the new population policy of the Islamic Republic is in reality to boost population growth, 114 00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:28,770 to reach one hundred and fifty million inhabitants with an Iran of one million, 50 million inhabitants? 115 00:17:28,770 --> 00:17:37,960 Right to call the state hopes to cure a demographic weapon to exert influence in the region. 116 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,940 It would indeed be destress if we open. 117 00:17:42,940 --> 00:17:52,750 That would be crucial for regime engaged in this protocol dispute with the immediate neighbours and with the West. 118 00:17:52,750 --> 00:17:56,470 And one can fail, not can. 119 00:17:56,470 --> 00:18:00,190 And one cannot fail to note it. 120 00:18:00,190 --> 00:18:05,850 Coherence between this population is the direction and Iran's ambition, too. 121 00:18:05,850 --> 00:18:14,770 Ambitions for regional hegemony. Excuse me. 122 00:18:14,770 --> 00:18:20,530 Because exactly of this ideological and political objective. 123 00:18:20,530 --> 00:18:30,340 I must emphasise that the Islamic Republic took some incentive Culver City and aggressive to an 124 00:18:30,340 --> 00:18:40,680 aggressive measures in order to accelerate the process of reversing the downward trend in fertility. 125 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:48,150 It goes without saying that these measures were taken in violation of women's right. 126 00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:52,920 And, of course, their reproductive rights. 127 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:58,830 In other words, to achieve this new population policy. 128 00:18:58,830 --> 00:19:05,650 The Islamic Republic of Iran sees the women's body. 129 00:19:05,650 --> 00:19:18,620 Let's take a look at the most significant and important incentive and aggressive measures implemented in Iran since 2009 10. 130 00:19:18,620 --> 00:19:26,790 First, instinctive measures encouraging Iranians to marry and found families Vedi York. 131 00:19:26,790 --> 00:19:38,190 In November to tell us two to 10, 2010, Ahmadinejad expressed recommended marriage at the precocious age. 132 00:19:38,190 --> 00:19:47,080 During a meeting in tribute to the actors and benefactors of Marriott. 133 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:58,020 Get the glass I put. For me, the ideal age for women to marry is between 16 and 18. 134 00:19:58,020 --> 00:20:02,780 And for men between 19 and 21. 135 00:20:02,780 --> 00:20:16,560 What I remind you, in two thousand and six, the mean age at first married for women was twenty twenty two point seven. 136 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:27,060 And for men, twenty six point five. Ahmadinejad went on to state that I called, okay? 137 00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:32,370 We need to move towards simple marriage and support it. 138 00:20:32,370 --> 00:20:46,820 I believe a simple and dignified, dignified Compte marriage has priority over employment and housing issues and cut the expression simple marriage. 139 00:20:46,820 --> 00:21:00,810 You was used by the head of government to mean a marriage celebrated by an inexpensive ceremony and doree of a primary symbolic value. 140 00:21:00,810 --> 00:21:09,480 For example, 40 gold coins. The name of the fourth did she Shiite any collates. 141 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:16,680 Ahmadinejad just proposed launching an initiative to conduct pullup hunger. 142 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:25,740 Now four simple early Megahed to this and the minister of the interior set up a foundation called 143 00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:34,270 the National Foundation for Marriage between the ministry's department for women's efforts. 144 00:21:34,270 --> 00:21:45,150 This foundation was tasked with coordinating all the state active activities for the marriage of young people supporting bodies. 145 00:21:45,150 --> 00:21:59,280 What activities cause to stop infertility, isolating fat, syndicating marriage, and helping set up new structure to monitor these goals. 146 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:12,230 In addition, since to two thousand nine, the government grants and interest free loan to Iran young people in order to. 147 00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:20,950 It is to Mary, Mary, Yonke. At the beginning, the amount was about one to three million. 148 00:22:20,950 --> 00:22:33,520 Two months. But today it is between 70 to 100 million for months to assess the impact of this measure. 149 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:41,050 It is necessary to carry out a field survey, which is not possible under current conditions in Iraq. 150 00:22:41,050 --> 00:22:52,090 Nevertheless, it is legitimate to assume that these measures, when these financial incentive seems significant, 151 00:22:52,090 --> 00:23:04,590 have encouraged young people from disadvantaged strata, particularly in rural sectors, to get married young. 152 00:23:04,590 --> 00:23:14,760 Did he upset that there probably single women aged 15 to 24 in Arlen Spectre? 153 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:31,750 And aged fifteen to twenty nine in rural sectors after steady rising for three decades, has dropped from 2006 to 2016. 154 00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:41,840 In this fissure, especially in the rural sectors, the first the women of this. 155 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,540 Edge, at first, the mean age, at first, 156 00:23:44,540 --> 00:24:00,460 marriage passed off fall from two twenty three point eight in 2006 to twenty two point seven in twenty twenty sixteen. 157 00:24:00,460 --> 00:24:08,770 This can be explained in part by the impact of the state campaigns promoting marriage at very young ages. 158 00:24:08,770 --> 00:24:13,940 Moreover, the change in age at Marriott. 159 00:24:13,940 --> 00:24:33,670 Sim's. To be in line with the fertility trend between 2012 and total in 2012 and 2016, should you indeed who are there for a TV deal was stablish. 160 00:24:33,670 --> 00:24:41,410 At a fair lot lower one point nine children per woman between 2010. 161 00:24:41,410 --> 00:24:51,930 One and two. Twenty eight than. Has started to rise slightly. 162 00:24:51,930 --> 00:25:05,520 Between 2012 and 20, see 16 at around two point one and two point two children per woman. 163 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:19,780 Now, look, we look at cuirass, it seems an aggressive measures holding this through version of a free con contraceptive in August. 164 00:25:19,780 --> 00:25:29,830 2012. Taking advantage of a speech by the supreme leader during a meeting in which the professor. 165 00:25:29,830 --> 00:25:37,120 He emphasised that if the population council policy continues, the population will grow. 166 00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:42,160 Progress will be older and the population will ultimately decline. 167 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:56,950 Ahmadinejad mocked, blocked the family planning budget for the purchase of contraceptive in 2013 following recommendations by supreme leader. 168 00:25:56,950 --> 00:26:02,470 The Family Planning Centre's budget was drastically reduced. 169 00:26:02,470 --> 00:26:16,750 Consequently, these centre definitely halted the distribution of free contraceptives and stopped offering families and tubal ligatures. 170 00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:26,380 As of 2013, of course, contraceptive admittedly still on sale in pharmacies. 171 00:26:26,380 --> 00:26:39,670 But given the serious economic crisis and soaring inflation data, price rose steadily, making them unaffordable for disadvantaged classes. 172 00:26:39,670 --> 00:26:45,990 Additionally, since these state pro-government media, including newspaper, 173 00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:53,290 radio, television, together with clear, clear colourist during Friday prayers, 174 00:26:53,290 --> 00:27:07,750 how this started its systematic offensive against contraceptive after and pupil open Yanta, the often very dangerous side effects for women helped. 175 00:27:07,750 --> 00:27:16,090 The suspension of the distribution of contraceptive affects, in particular the families from the disadvantaged, 176 00:27:16,090 --> 00:27:23,730 disadvantaged and mothers as to who ought to then could benefit from their various service 177 00:27:23,730 --> 00:27:30,550 of the family planning centre to cultural or programme the calendar of their fertility. 178 00:27:30,550 --> 00:27:34,510 Again, in the absence of appropriate data, 179 00:27:34,510 --> 00:27:43,090 Michon marriages assume that this aggressive measure has affected fertility and possibly caused 180 00:27:43,090 --> 00:27:50,610 on what that birth and consequently a slight increase in the fertility of married couples. 181 00:27:50,610 --> 00:28:00,930 More importantly, women were deprived of their right to choose whether to have a child or not and their 182 00:28:00,930 --> 00:28:10,230 reproductive health right would have been violated in case of unauthorised abortion. 183 00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:18,040 The second course, active, even aggressive measure is an article of a draught. 184 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:26,220 No court population and to and this of the family, it concerns employment. 185 00:28:26,220 --> 00:28:38,640 According to this article, the parliament, uranian, parliament gives employment priority in both the public and private sector to first. 186 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:47,160 Married men, Rete, Children, Segan, married man without children. 187 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:52,170 And Leslie Terk, two married women with children. 188 00:28:52,170 --> 00:29:00,750 In the absence of married applicant, it is possible to employ qualified, unmarried individuals. 189 00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:13,770 Men first, then remit. Given that the evolution of the main determinants of fertility in here is contributing to birth control. 190 00:29:13,770 --> 00:29:27,030 I assume that this discriminatory, low hitting singles, especially women, has influenced the behaviour of married couples and young singles. 191 00:29:27,030 --> 00:29:33,450 Given the severity of the economic situation in Europe and the high rate of unemployment, 192 00:29:33,450 --> 00:29:40,410 young couples are likely to have changed their family project and the young men and women may 193 00:29:40,410 --> 00:29:48,210 have decided to marry in order to increase the chances of accessing stable out of treatment. 194 00:29:48,210 --> 00:29:56,670 It is possible that couples in particular have reduced their interval between marriage and the first, 195 00:29:56,670 --> 00:30:03,520 third or between births if they have already tried. 196 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:10,630 Of course, until now, no data available laws to prove this hypothesis. 197 00:30:10,630 --> 00:30:17,950 However, in the current state of knowledge of the social and economic situation of the country, 198 00:30:17,950 --> 00:30:29,890 it seems to be the most likely experimentation of the slight increase in fertility between 2012 and 2016. 199 00:30:29,890 --> 00:30:33,340 Since then, the worsening economic conditions, 200 00:30:33,340 --> 00:30:43,240 mainly due to U.S. sanctions having significantly reduced the government's ability to continue both its coercive, 201 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:52,390 too coercive and an incident in sensitive measures have led to a continued decline in marriage. 202 00:30:52,390 --> 00:30:57,100 And therefore the decline in birth and fertility. 203 00:30:57,100 --> 00:31:02,620 After a slight rise between 2012 and 2016, 204 00:31:02,620 --> 00:31:14,760 the fertility is started falling to one point nine to run in twenty eight eighteen and to one point seven in twenty nineteen. 205 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:25,510 To conclude, I would cut the paragraph seven point three of the International Conference on Population and Development Programme of actions. 206 00:31:25,510 --> 00:31:34,150 It says, I quote, Reproductive rights are based on the right of couples and individuals to decide. 207 00:31:34,150 --> 00:31:45,580 Free from discrimination, coercion and violence, whether to have children, how often and when to do so. 208 00:31:45,580 --> 00:31:51,810 Having been necessary information and means to make such a decision. 209 00:31:51,810 --> 00:32:02,560 It is also connected with gay rights to the highest attainable standard of sexual and reproductive health. 210 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:14,440 So you see, all the measure taken in Iran shows clearly that the Islamic Republic for this tragic take necessary. 211 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:27,090 I I must to emphasise the survival of the regime depends on it, did not hesitate to violate once again in a different way. 212 00:32:27,090 --> 00:32:29,780 The human rights of women. 213 00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:43,760 What you meant by reappropriating their fertility succeeded in coming out of the male state of the nation and they're switching dignity and equality. 214 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:54,950 They again find themselves subject to injunctions that will let their reproductive health rights and thereby human rights. 215 00:32:54,950 --> 00:32:59,240 Thank you for your attention. Thank you very much, Marie. 216 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,260 Thank you. That's very, very rich. 217 00:33:02,260 --> 00:33:09,500 It needs a lot of support for being in fact, some people have already asked me whether they could have the script of your paper. 218 00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:18,560 If that is available, I you. Is there any way where they can access the written take your written text? 219 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:23,480 I think that the most important things that I talk about, 220 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:32,360 they can find in my article on the Journal of Iranian study I mentioned the article that Marty is referring 221 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:39,790 to is called The Islamic Republic of Iran's New Population Policy and Recent Changes in Fertility. 222 00:33:39,790 --> 00:33:57,368 It's on the issue of March 20 21. So you will get all the figures that you are asking for that article.
