Iran, who is the widow of Ibrahim Raisi, the woman with progressive views on the
"I am a teacher and I focus on philosophical theories"... Author and academic, the widow of Iran's president Raishi, Jamile Alamoloda, is considered a controversial "First Lady" by Muslim standards.

She publicly expressed her views and concerns while sending a letter to Emmanuel Macron's wife about the war in Gaza. As for her views on the role of women, they cannot be considered obscurantist, on the contrary, she promotes freedom but supports the hijab law.

Asked specifically whether Iran should respect the law, Alavardhan said: "It was a tradition, widely accepted. And now, for years, it has become law. And the violation of the law, the violation of any law, as in any country, comes with its own punishments.

She wears her black chador, which is not just a headscarf, but a robe that covers the whole body and leaves the face exposed, but not the hands.

With her choice, she rejects the Western style embraced by many Iranian women, especially those who participated in the protests after the killing of 22-year-old Mahsha Amini.

In November 2023, Jamile Alamolonda sent a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron's wife, Brigitte, asking her to work for a ceasefire in Gaza.

She wrote: "Dear Mrs. Macron! Please, as a woman representing the mothers and daughters of France, ask your husband not to be an accomplice in the killing of Palestinian children and women."

Born in Iran's second most populous city, Mashhad, in 1965, Jamileh Alamolonda, daughter of the hardline imam, Ihman Alamolonda, is a professor of educational philosophy and received her doctorate from Shahid Beheshti University. She has also directed the university's scientific and technological research institute since 2001.

In 1983, she married Ebrahim Raisi, a hardline member of the Islamic Republic known as the "Butcher of Tehran," and they had two daughters.

However, it is unusual for the wife of an Iranian leader to promote her views, but the 59-year-old has not chosen to follow the traditional image imposed by conservative society.

Her views on the role of women have generated lively interest worldwide as they promote freedom in many areas.

Jamile Alamolonda has actually given interviews to foreign media and has accompanied her husband on official trips, such as to the United Nations and New York.

In an interview on Venezuelan state television in June 2023, she argued that there are governments that turn a blind eye to the abuse of women in the workplace. It is focused on the need to fight domestic violence.
