Shima Babai won the Women’s Rights Award at the Geneva Summit
The Women’s Rights Award at the Geneva Summit for Democracy and Human Rights was awarded to Shima Babai, a human rights activist.
In response to receiving this award, Ms. Babai wrote in a Twitter message that she considers this award to belong to the brave Iranians who are engaged in a daily struggle to gain their freedom and human rights against a government that is anti-women, anti-life, and anti-freedom, and who will not stop their efforts until they achieve their goal, which has been admired by people worldwide.
Ebrahim Babai, the father of Shima Babai and a human rights activist who was a victim of the Iran-Iraq war, disappeared in early January 2022 in the city of Maku while attempting to leave the country.
In March 2023, Amnesty International issued a statement highlighting the 15 months since the enforced disappearance of Ebrahim Babai, a political activist, and called on the Islamic Republic to clarify this matter.
