Iran (IMNA) - In Geneva, Switzerland, during the Working Group on Discrimination Against Women and Girls, Karimi made the comments on Friday.
Articles 20 and 21 of the Iranian Constitution highlight the equality of all men and women. "The Islamic Republic of Iran believes in the inherent dignity of women," she said.
Karimi also criticized Iran's expulsion from the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), expressing regret that the action was a glaring instance of discrimination against women, particularly Iranian women.
She continued by saying that the Islamic Republic of Iran has pursued the empowerment of women and girls with more vigor and seriousness in spite of such overt and illegal discrimination.
Despite the obstacles brought about by the unconstitutional US sanctions, Iranian authorities insist that their nation is devoted to empowering women and advancing their rights.
Zahra Ershadi, Iran's deputy permanent representative to the UN, said Tehran recognizes that there is always space for improvement in terms of defending and advancing women's rights at a UN Security Council discussion on women, peace, and security on March 8.
"We actively take into account the issues raised by our women and girls while working to empower Iranian women and girls and guarantee that their rights are protected. This is a high priority for us, and we'll work hard to advance it," she added.
