Sayyid Ali Fadlallah calls for women’s rights, ends of discrimination among citizens
24-5-2018
Cleric Sayyed Ali Fadlallah reiterated his support for women in their struggle to achieve their full rights and safeguard their role and dignity. Among the rights he highlighted, are the right of women to grant nationality to their children, which he noted, is still subject to religious rather than human considerations and the right of mothers to the custody of their children because they are adept. Fadlallah, who was speaking during the annual Iftar dinner held by Al Mabarrat Charity Association’s Women Committee, stressed that a “change is not brought about by a simple decree but by the human being himself.” Politicians, spiritual leaders, educators and sociologists do have a part, but the main responsibility remains that of women who alone are qualified to play this role. Whoever debases or abuses his wife, Fadlallah stated, does not harm his wife alone, but also impairs his future and the future of his own children, for an oppressed mother cannot bring up a healthy and sensible generation. In conclusion, Fadlallah asked women to be more efficient at this stage in order to face growing challenges outside and inside the country, especially the challenge to build a state governed by the law. “We want a state free of corruption, allocation and quotas and discrimination. We want a modern and fair state.” )Al Mustaqbal, May 24, 2018(
