Summary

The calls for women’s human rights in Iran and Afghanistan require coordinated action by the international community. On March 10, as part of the UN Commission on the Status of Women NGO Forum, WLP will brought together Iranian and Afghan women leaders to share ways to assist movements for women’s rights inside and outside the countries. Panelists discussed how the international community can amplify messages from within the communities, contribute to the resilience and power of women’s movements in Afghanistan and Iran, and use technology to build the capacity of women leaders in closed societies. The event opened and concluded with a reading of Persian poetry, as a part of WLP’s Lifelines: The Poetry of Human Rights series.
