Shirin Ebadi

Hi! As you know, a few days ago they say the winners of the nobel prize of 2017. Connected with this I decided to write an article about Shirin Ebadi that she was the winner of the Nobel Prize of pace in 2003. She do a lot of things for the equality and for the justice, because of this reason I decide to write her biography.

Ebadi was born in Hamadan, Iran on the 21st June 1947. A year later in 1948, her family moved to Tehran. Ebadi studied law at the University of Tehran and she was graduated in 1969; she later gained a doctorate’s degree in law. In a male dominated society, she became Iran’s first ever judge. In 1975, she became the first president of the Tehran city court.

Despite opposing the rule of the pro-Western Shah and initially supporting the revolution of 1979, Ebadi was dismayed to find the new Islamic republic prohibited women from becoming judges and were marginalised from society. She lost her position as the the president of the city court, and was demoted to a secretarial position.

For several years, she campaigned to regain her legal career. Although her campaigns made her unpopular with the government, in 1993, she was granted a law office permit and was able to practise law.

In 2003 she won the Nobel Prize “for her efforts for democracy and human rights. She has focused especially on the struggle for the rights of women and children".


I have chosen this person because she is a very strong women doe to a lot of years working a favor a equality of women's and for human rights for children and women.
