Women’s Movements in Iran & Afghanistan: Sahar Fetrat, Rothna Begum, Tamana Ayazi & Katie Polglase

From Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Malala Yousafzai to Susan B. Anthony, women have played crucial catalytic roles across history in the fight for universal basic freedoms, across society and gender.
Today, women continue to lead the battle front for human rights. As we witness parallel struggles for basic women’s rights and broader human rights in the face of repressive governments in neighbouring Iran and Afghanistan, how do women in crisis settings galvanise broader civil society to fight for universal human rights?
As we mark International Women’s Day on the 8th of March, join Human Rights Watch’s Next Gen community in partnership with The Conduit, to explore gender inequality, women’s empowerment and how women mobilise broader human movements.
