Hello everyone
iam a doctorate student at sidi mohamed ben abdellah university in fes,Morocco.I guess that it is very important for muslim women to increase their participation in athletics as it is one of the best way for us to show to the world that muslims are tolerent, respectful,peaceful and have nothing to do with terrorism .In my country,there is an incresing rate of athlets moroccan women.And I hope thatthe same thing will be in Iran
