"Islam has given the highest status to women and strongly supports their rights, dignity and their social status," he was quoted by Irna as saying.
"The Western advocates of women's rights mainly in the contemporary era have committed the severest betrayal of the rights of women," he said.
In Islam, Fatemeh Zahra (SA), the daughter of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), is a model for high status of women among Muslims who helped the Prophet accomplish his significant role, he said.
Fatemeh Zahra (SA) is an unprecedented model of a complete human being who thoroughly demonstrated significant role of females in Islam, he said.
Due to interaction of natural and inborn characteristics of women and men in their social life in the West, women's status has been harmed and resulted inn the dissolution of families and disrespect, he said.
Islam underlines that both male and female enjoy equal rights, he stated.
Islamic societies should not be deceived by lies and fabricated mottoes of the so-called advocates of women's rights, warned Shahroudi.
West now casts an instrumental and economic look on females, he said adding, "We should not be deceived by these false propaganda and let the lofty status of women in Islam being shattered." (dar)
