Abstract: This article seeks to examine the issue of employment or in another sense, incumbency of women on social and political positions in Iran regulations and provisions of the convention of eliminating all forms discrimination against women from a legal perspective. Comparative perspective of Iran’s regulations and provisions of women’s convention suggests that in legal system of Islamic Republic of Iran, women enjoy independent identity and all their basic and civil rights have been under consideration and there is a lot of evidence in verses and narrations and laws of Iran about this issue; but the context of convention’s provisions under the guise of feminist rhetoric and west’s approach suggests that women’s character are fully equal to men without paying attention to their physiological differences. This is while that from the perspective of Iran's legal system which is derived from Islam’s teachings, in transferring jobs we should pay attention to important points such as interest of society and the family, and circumstances of individual interests and priorities in work assignments of individuals. Actually, legal system of Iran applies equal rights for women and men with consideration of individual, family, social, political and religious interests of women as basis, while, the women’s convention applies equal rights for women and men in this regard, regardless of individual, family and social interests and it will continue to insist about it.
Keywords: women, employment, Iranian civil laws, women's convention, political and social positions.
