Women responsible for earthquakes - Building Gender Balanced Business

*Over the course of the last ten years, earthquakes have taken the lives of tens of thousands of people in Iran.

• Last Friday, Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, a senior Iranian cleric, informed his followers that women have played a role in provoking these earthquakes.
• Mr Sedighi stated that “Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray and spread adultery in society which increases earthquakes.”
• Recently, young Iranian women have started to reveal their hair and wear tighter clothing.
• He proclaimed that the only possible solution is to respect Islam’s moral codes so a to not disappoint God.
• Seismologists have repeatedly warned that Tehran could be hit by a crippling earthquake anytime because it is located on numerous tectonic fault lines.
• Even President Ahmadinejad has declared that the capital’s 12 million inhabitants should relocate.

Goodness knows women have been responsible for a lot of evil, but this takes the quake.
