An international forum on the philosophy of women’s rights in Islam will be held on May 15 and 16 at Hazrat Ma’soumeh (SA) University in the holy city of Qom.
This is according to Mohammad Amin Banayi, secretary of the first edition of the forum, who told IQNA that the forum was planned at a meeting of the Research Council of the university two years ago.
He added that from among the works sent to the secretariat of the forum, 210 papers have been selected to be presented at the international event on May 16.
Intellectual infrastructures and methodology of women’s rights, investigation of various approaches to women’s rights, criticism of the positivist theory on the issue and the conflict between tradition and modernity in this respect will be the themes of the first part of the program.
The second part will investigate the basics of differences in women’s rights from financial, spiritual, political and judiciary aspects.
The themes to be investigated in the third part of the forum will include jurisprudential investigation of documents and international approaches towards women’s rights such as The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women ( CEDAW), UN Declaration on Women Rights and The Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam (CDHRI).
The forum aims to clarify cognitive realm of Islam's views on women’s rights and to criticize other schools of thought in order to present an Iranian-Islamic model for women’s rights.
