According to IRIB News Agency,in this meeting, the demographic and educational changes among the country's women and the increase in the population of educated and specialized women were considered as one of the necessities of transformation in the policies related to women's cooperatives.
In this meeting, emphasis was placed on the necessity of moving from limited and traditional models toward creating and developing women's cooperatives in fields such as knowledge-based activities, industries, construction activities, basic sciences and other specialization-based arenas, so as to provide the ground for a more effective presence of specialized women in economic and productive activities, so that, in addition to creating opportunities to benefit from specialized women, the ground for greater participation of women in employment and economic participation is strengthened.
