About this episode

Barnard's Athena Center for Leadership Studies and Glamour magazine are honored to welcome Hoda Aminian and Azadeh Faramarziha, members of the Iranian Women's One Million Signatures Campaign, which won Glamour's 2009 Women of the Year Award. Launched in 2006, the Campaign's goal is to gather a million signatures on a petition asking Iran's parliament to grant equal rights to women. The Campaign has received international recognition for its extraordinary advocacy efforts to reform laws that discriminate against women. Despite the fact that the Iranian government has jailed or given suspended sentences to dozens of the Campaign's members, they continue to fight for women's rights and have galvanized a movement for reform across their country and around the world.
