Women from Iran

Interesting discussion and research yesterday at the CSW regarding a "woman's right to participate in the CSW". This has come from Iranian women - you can find out more at the facebook page - www.facebook.com/IranianWomenatCSW   There is a video there, in segments, called Absent Voices.

With support, they are trying to get a paragraph in the agreed conclusion about the women's human rights defenders and support the right to participate in the CSW.
