Message of Mr. Boroujerdi, the Founder of Monotheism without Borders on International Women’s Day

Greetings to all women and all dear ladies in the world and in each country with every belief, taste, temper and race.

Woman’s position is very high. Woman has given the right of existence to man despite the fact that religious teaching says that Eve was created separately from Adam. Due to unreliability of stories in divine books, we are not certain how true this statement is, and, even if true, the opposite has happened.

To continue human life, men are indebted to this effective sex. The creator has endowed women with advantages of which men have been denied. Women's special characteristic is hidden behind their magnificence, identity and reality. Everything has two aspects, apparent and inherent. Men mostly look just at women's appearance. Woman, either a girl or married, should appear attractive to get by in society or to get married, to attract clients to sell. However, woman's identity and originality go beyond environment and are universal.

A day in the year is set aside to glorify woman and the rest of the year she is imprisoned within the four walls of the house or in the society and left with helplessness. 

Women have praiseworthy thoughts, they are intellectuals. If they were given what are their rights, what they deserve, and if they could express what is inherent in them, the world would certainly be better managed. How many women are in high positions in the world? If they were settled in these positions and if their unknown concepts and consciousness would be recognized by sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists and theologians, then their abilities would have made extraordinary advantages for human life. Women are like brain which, according to scientists, is half used and the rest is left idle, boycotted. Because of her tender appearance, the perspective of the other half of human being has been concealed. Humans are made of two halves, one man and one woman. If we consider woman's magnificence, efficiency and management in transition of human from absence to existence of life, we should say she is the first half. That is, primarily in terms of inception of pregnancy, carrying the child, and feeding the baby. This is true despite the fact that new substitutes have been discovered, but they are not the same, as powder milk was made but, according to pediatricians, nothing is the same as mother's milk.
Woman can conceive by herself as Mary, Jesus’s mother, did. This is an example against destruction of patriarchy. 

If women are allowed to express themselves in all aspects of social life, the earth and its environment will certainly be in a better position. Unfortunately, throughout thousands of years of recorded history, treatment of women has been disgraceful and they have suffered humiliation, threats, limitations and impositions. Women have been permanent historical victims.
She is constantly humiliated because of her monthly period, a fact considered in Quran as "a sort of sickness". The blood which is the origin of human life, exits from her. Who cares for the person who serves family and suffers all kinds of inconveniences? Who can carry the weight she carries for nine months? If you are given a weight and told to carry it in your hands, you get tired. Who feeds from her own essence another person given by fate? As soon as she wants to speak, she is shut off and threatened to keep quiet by the excuse that she is a toy for pleasure. Unfortunately, many women have been forced to accept that they are means for men's pleasure. This is double oppression.

Women can be dominant in many great extensive aspects of life. The more a woman is shown respect; her beneficial return to social life becomes greater. In Islamic culture, we read: “A person who does not value women greatly, he has no religion." Despite such a saying, there are laws in Islam which limit women and deprive her of her rights and of her privacy. We have seen all these deprivations.

It is a subject to grieve for discrimination against women, and implementation of harsh and violent laws against them since oppressing the women will result in emotional, psychological and nervous breakdown for men. In a family atmosphere, when one of the partners is troubled, the other will be in trouble too, the same is true in society. The global society needs peace and that peace is within women. When women take control of affairs in any sector of society with peace of mind, they can lead the ship of social expectation to a safe port.
