What a way to mark #InternationalWomensDay indeed. I was honoured to be part of this important conference and contribute a little on what Iceland is doing to stand up for women and girls in Afghanistan and Iran, plus explain the ongoing process on #CrimesAgainstHumanity @ 🇺🇳.
What better way to mark #InternationalWomensDay with #Iranian + #Afghan women working on #humanrights + advocating for #genderequality. You can watch the event here: .@DrSimasamar @HomaHoodfar @AliEhsassi @Ghizaalh @MasseyCollege #SenCA #cdnpoli
