TEHRAN License holder and editor-in-chief of the daily Zan (woman) Ms. Faezeh Hashemi said here on Monday that the daily is to be published in late May. Hashemi, who made the remark here at the Fifth Press Festival, said the daily aims to change social attitude towards women and to define the rights men and women should have equally in the society.

The press are not dealing with women related issues favorably despite the fact that women enjoy high potential and shoulder grave role in the society, she said, adding that it is necessary for the Iranian press to focus on the problems facing Iranian women. Hashemi, also Majlis representative from Tehran, said that women's presence in the society does not at all mean their ignorance of their role in the family.
