When they were asked to stand down as women lawyers herself and other stood up to fight against this and try to gain the right to fight. She also takes on most cases regarding women and their mistreatment this then enables these women to take a stand and believe in themselves more. ]]> 2017-04-05 00:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/iaustin1/71ccp4bt80k0/wish/164760951 iaustin1 https://padlet.com/iaustin1/71ccp4bt80k0/wish/164761525 Ebadi challenged the status quo by becoming a lawyer and a judge in a country where this was previously frowned upon.

Some women never would have been given the chance they have now because she has given them this opportunity to do great things. With her help the Womens Movement is being noticed and helped in more struggling countries such as Iran and Egypt, before her influence the movement would most likely never have stated in countries such as these. ]]> 2017-04-05 00:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/iaustin1/71ccp4bt80k0/wish/164763172 iaustin1 https://padlet.com/iaustin1/71ccp4bt80k0/wish/164763607 2017-04-05 00:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/iaustin1/71ccp4bt80k0/wish/164763607 iaustin1 https://padlet.com/iaustin1/71ccp4bt80k0/wish/164763673 "Human rights is a universal standard.

She believes in this so strongly that she helped in starting the Womens Movement In Iran this has helped so many women to have a voice in this mainly male dominated society. Her hope for the country is that it will become for equal and let women have a say in how things are done. This was very different from the Iranian world views, overtime they have become more open towards her way of thinking but to start nobody wanted to incorporate her ideas into their way of thinking. Shirin has most defiantly changed some peoples minds about this subject and she is still working to get more people on her side .]]> 2017-04-05 01:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/iaustin1/71ccp4bt80k0/wish/164764574 iaustin1 https://padlet.com/iaustin1/71ccp4bt80k0/wish/164765238 1: "Shirin Ebadi".
