<div><span lang="ET" style="font-size: 14pt">Women in the Middle East are working to change public opinion, laws, and policies in order to build democratic and inclusive societies. Join us as a panel of activists from campaigns for justice in Iran, Jordan, Morocco, and Bahrain share their challenges and successes in demanding equal rights as citizens – in the family and in society. </span></div>
<div><span lang="ET" style="font-size: 14pt">Their campaigns grew from local experience and spread across national and regional divisions. They include Iran’s <i>One Million Signatures </i>for reform of family laws; the Arab regional CEDAW campaign, <i>Equality without Reservation;</i> and the <i>Claiming Equal Citizenship</i> campaign for reform of nationality laws in the Middle East and Gulf.<br />
<br />
The event will also launch a new book, <b><i>Iranian Women’s <u>One Million Signatures</u> Campaign for Equality: The Inside Story</i></b>. Narrated by Noushin Ahmadi Khorasani, the book details the history, strategies, and values of a movement that brought world attention to the injustice of gender apartheid in Iran. </span></div>
<div><span lang="ET" style="font-size: 14pt">Through door-to-door visits, impromptu street theatre, and use of alternative media, the campaign’s coordinated efforts, fraught with great risks and sacrifice, contributed to the solidarity that resulted in public protests against the contested presidential elections of June 2009.</span><span lang="ET"> </span></div>

<div><span lang="ET" style="font-size: 14pt">Women in the Middle East are working to change public opinion, laws, and policies in order to build democratic and inclusive societies. Join us as a panel of activists from campaigns for justice in Iran, Jordan, Morocco, and Bahrain share their challenges and successes in demanding equal rights as citizens – in the family and in society. </span></div>
<div><span lang="ET" style="font-size: 14pt">Their campaigns grew from local experience and spread across national and regional divisions. They include Iran’s <i>One Million Signatures </i>for reform of family laws; the Arab regional CEDAW campaign, <i>Equality without Reservation;</i> and the <i>Claiming Equal Citizenship</i> campaign for reform of nationality laws in the Middle East and Gulf.<br />
<br />
The event will also launch a new book, <b><i>Iranian Women’s <u>One Million Signatures</u> Campaign for Equality: The Inside Story</i></b>. Narrated by Noushin Ahmadi Khorasani, the book details the history, strategies, and values of a movement that brought world attention to the injustice of gender apartheid in Iran. </span></div>
<div><span lang="ET" style="font-size: 14pt">Through door-to-door visits, impromptu street theatre, and use of alternative media, the campaign’s coordinated efforts, fraught with great risks and sacrifice, contributed to the solidarity that resulted in public protests against the contested presidential elections of June 2009.</span><span lang="ET"> </span></div>
