Get home by dusk, Iran tells female civil servants gulf-news.com Tehran: Female civil servants at Iran's Culture Ministry and female journalists at the state newspaper and news agency must be out of the office by dusk to be with their families, a directive said yesterday. The directive was issued by Culture Minister Mohammad Hossein Saffar-Harandi, one of a batch of hardline Cabinet ministers brought in by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who won a landslide election in June. "Owing to the sensitive role of women in the family and in raising children, women employees are banned from staying at the office after 6pm," the Tosea newspaper quoted the directive as saying. The order to get home early also covers the official Irna news agency and the state-run Iran daily newspaper. Shirin Ebadi, Iran's 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner, said the decree was blatantly discriminatory. "Women should be free to adjust their working hours based on their pace of life," the human rights lawyer said. One woman reporter believed it was part of a plan by Ahmadinejad's government to turn the clock back on the tentative progress made under moderate former president Mohammad Khatami.
