# Talk:Fatima Payman

Senator Fatima Payman faced significant backlash after describing Iran as an "incredible place" for women during an interview with Iranian state-owned Press TV, praising the country for allowing women to participate in the workforce and dismissing Western criticism as "propaganda". Critics, including the Australian Iranian Community Organisation, accused her of aligning with the rhetoric of the Iranian regime, which has been widely condemned for human rights abuses against women. Payman later apologised, stating her comments reflected experiences shared by others at the event and not her personal opinion, while claiming she was unaware of Press TV's political affiliations. Despite her apology, her remarks prompted calls for an investigation into whether she had any affiliations with foreign entities, further fueling the controversy. 2405:6E00:491:2EB7:CD4E:1C74:8EC8:FEF9 (talk) 03:39, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

I think Women's rights in Iran could be a more appropriate Wikilink than the generic human rights. 2405:6E00:491:2EB7:CD4E:1C74:8EC8:FEF9 (talk) 03:42, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
