Choosing a local woman as a mayor in the Iranian Baluchistan – keeping in mind the traditional customs of the province– is unprecedented.
“Selecting a Baluch woman can encourage other local women to be more active in their social lives. As well as, it can be an opportunity for all expert ladies to come forward after being isolated. We hope a greater number of Baluch women participate in various fields in future,” Bozorgzadeh added more.
