Dear Friends<br><br>The Iranian Human Rights Defender's Center, ran by the nobel peace prize winner Shirin Ebadi and colleagues, was closed down by Iranian government authorities on Sunday 21 December 2008. Please join in calls for its re-opening, so that victims of human rights relying on the Center for their defence may not lose their only lifeline to justice.<br>

It's also important to look at the world from the perspective of the lives of diverse women, because there is not single women's view, any more than there is a single men's view." <br>
