Official Calls for More Attention to Quranic Activities for Women
Hojat-ol-Islam Ali Mohammadi noted that a large number of the country’s Quran activists are women, which makes it important to put more efforts into developing Quranic activities for this section of the society.

Hojat-ol-Islam Mohammadi also said Quran competitions for women should be constantly evaluated in order for improvement.
