The symposium was graced by the presence of prominent figures, including President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf. The event served as a platform to explore the evolving dynamics of families amidst societal changes driven by technology, culture, and education.

During his address, Qalibaf emphasized the significant role of women in various sectors, including politics, economics, culture, sports, and science. He noted that the Islamic Revolution has empowered women to take on critical roles both within their households and in society at large.

“Iranian women act as barriers against threats posed by enemies. They are the key components of national resilience,” Qalibaf stated, underscoring their pivotal contributions during times of conflict.

In his remarks, the speaker paid tribute to women who bravely supported their families during the 12-day war, highlighting their sacrifices and the injustices they faced from terrorist actions attributed to the Israeli regime.

Qalibaf also referred to the Seventh National Development Plan (2023 – 2027), indicating that families and women are central to any nation’s progress. He asserted, “Family is the main social asset of society. Once it is weakened, the country will lose its strength.”

The discussions at the symposium reflect a broader recognition of the need to support and strengthen family structures amidst external challenges. As technology advances and societal demands evolve, it becomes increasingly important to foster environments where families can thrive.

In conclusion, the Second International Symposium on ‘Family, Future, Sustainable Bonds’ marked a significant step towards addressing the complexities surrounding family dynamics in contemporary society.
