More than 100 children in Iran drew NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli. She is the first Iranian American NASA astronaut and went to space today as the commander of Crew 7. A role model. @AstroJaws NASA SpaceX NASA Artemis Elon Musk

Congratulations & best of luck to Jasmin Moghbeli as she serves as mission commander on NASA's recent launch to the International Space Station. Her leadership & scientific contributions are an inspiration not only to the Iranian American community, but to women & girls worldwide

Fakhr Afagh Parsa was the first woman journalist in Iran to be exiled for speaking the truth to men in a patriarchal society and for defending gender equality in education. #Iran #IranianInfluentialWomen iranwire.com/en/women/12022… #truth

#NargesMohamadi was physically assaulted & insulted today for refusing to wear forced hijab as prison authorities witnessed & did nothing. #womanlifefreedom

Today marks one year since the death in custody of Zhina #MahsaAmini in Iran. Instead of abolishing discriminatory compulsory veiling laws, Iranian authorities have waged an all-out assault on women's rights, unlawfully killed hundreds & tortured thousands #WomanLifeFreedom

The conflict between the Iranian people and the #IslamicRepublic isn’t just political- it’s existential. Iranian people, esp. Iranian women are fighting for their right to live, and to live according to their choices. And for this right, they are prepared to give their lives.

Thank you Christiane for having me on CNN today to honor the anniversary of the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement. We discussed the vital actions of Iranian women, both their lasting accomplishments, and the work that still needs to be done.

Since 2021, over 50 edicts, orders and restrictions have been put into place in #Afghanistan. Afghan women and girls must be free to move, to work, and to study. Independently, wherever and whatever they want. Their fundamental human rights must be restored IMMEDIATELY.

Women are under-represented in peace processes. Yet, women's participation increases the likelihood of reaching lasting peace and achieving the #GlobalGoals. 🕊️𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧. #PeaceDay

Narges Mohammadi is a courageous, selfless, and relentless advocate for human rights in #Iran. Honoring Mohammadi's work provides crucial support to women in Iran and those around the world leading movements for rights and freedom. #NobelPrize2023

🧵📢CSOs across #Kyrgyzstan have raised alarms about a new law that threatens rights to freedom of association and would make it more difficult for organizations promoting #humanrights to operate in the country.

Morocco is poised for legal reform that would advance the rights of women & girls. At a press conference organized by ADFM activists shared four areas of reform & called for the harmonization of the Family Code with international commitments to equality. fb.watch/pWqc3FsrAA/

Nearly 12,000 girls are at risk of FGM daily. WLP collaborates with our national partners & international organizations, like UNFPA, to resource activists transforming the structures that perpetuate harmful practices like FGM. By supporting survivor-led movements we can #EndFGM.
