Women’s island will be established in Iran

The new “just for women” resort will be created in a northwest province of Iran. Under these purposes the whole island on Lake Urumie is allocated.
According to strict laws of the Iranian Islam dialogue with men on public is forbidden to women. It is considered, that similar traditions are dictated by aspiration to protect women, but not in which case to not limit their right.
There will be no men at all on Arezou Island (”Arezou” means “desire”). The public transport, restaurants and other services will be served only by women.
In spite of the fact that the Iranian women still should carry a veil at some governmental offices, the situation with their rights is being successfully improved.
The part of the Iranian beaches is reserved only for women. There women can remove their scarves and shawls and to dress in bathing suits.
Women have already cleared for themselves road to national sports, on stadiums, neglecting strict division of floors. Some parks “only for women” have already been created. The island - the entire women’s resort - becomes a one more step of the outlined tendency.
