شيرين عبادي- إيران منال الشريف- السعودية نادية الفلاح- ليبيا سارة فقيه- ليبيا دينا وهبة- مصرby RashaQandeelBBC via twitter 12/4/2012 9:40:20 AM -
Ebadi gave examples from Egypt and Tunisia where women's rights are in flux. In Egypt, she said, former president Hosni Mubarak supported relatively better laws for women. But, she noted that the new Islamist-dominated government is pushing for more restrictions on women - restrictions that women are protesting.

MT @Kuwaha: 'I know democracy will arrive by the hand of women' says #ShirinEbadi about #Iran #twconf12by IHT_RDV via twitter 12/4/2012 9:49:00 AM -
Ebadi said the feminist movement in Iran has shown growth. One of the programs is the 1 million signature campaign that Jensen inquired about. That campaign aims not only to gather 1 million signatures but to move society to act against discrimination against women. She said the government has arrested a large number of those involved in the campaign under charges of conspiracy against national security.
