Nasrin Sotoudeh is an imprisoned Iranian human rights lawyer, widely respected for her efforts on behalf of juveniles facing the death penalty and for her defense of prisoners of conscience.
Just last year, 440 schools were reportedly destroyed by militants, out of which 130 were girl’s schools.
Yet there is very little mainstream media coverage of these shocking incidents. NGOs and journalists are not safe in the region, and receive frequent threats, as do locals who speak out.

"Our underlying principle is that grassroots groups are best-placed to bring about behavioural change in a culturally-sensitive and sustainable way, through their established relationship with local leaders, schools, communities and beneficiaries, and local knowledge.

Please help us to help others!" - Chris Crowstaff, Founder, Safe World for Women
