March 8th 2008-Celebrations to honour the courage and achievements of Iranian women under oppression.
Faced with social and legal discrimination, as well as cultural barriers, in achieving their equal rights Iranian women have found creative and inspirational ways of working to bring about change. Despite facing extreme, many times violent, opposition to their rightful demands they have remained at the epicentre of social change.
Without a doubt, international awareness and recognition of their achievements will offer them moral support and relative protection. The focus of ACI’s roundtable is the important role international organisations can play in supporting and empowering grassroots organisations and NGOs in campaigning for equal rights. We invite you to join us and look forward to meeting you on 8th March.
