Syrian women denounce sexist remarks by new Islamist government

Syrian women and activists have fiercely criticized recent comments made by Obaida Arnaout, Syria’s newly appointed government spokesman. Arnaout suggested that women’s “biological and psychological nature” makes them unsuitable for certain governmental roles.


Specifically, he argued that women cannot work as the Minister of Defense or perform tasks traditionally associated with men.
These remarks have sparked outrage, particularly among Syrian women who have played critical roles in the country’s revolution.
