Shirin Ebadi
Under a regime where dissidents and intellectuals often disappeared 
or were murdered, Shirin Ebadi, Iran’s first woman judge, showed 
enormous courage in spite of death threats, harassment, and 
imprisonment.
*
In 1948, things were a lot different in Iran than they are now. If she had the brains and 
determination, a girl like Shirin Ebadi, born to an educated, well-to-do family, could look 
forward to going to university and having a good career. Shirin had plenty of both, and 
she grew up to be a lawyer and a judge, the first woman in Iran to ever preside over a 
legislative court.
But in 1979, there was a revolution in Iran and very conservative religious leaders took 
power. Things were about to get very bad for women, girls, and anyone who spoke up 
against the government. The new leaders declared that women should not be judges and 
demoted Shirin Ebadi to a secretarial position. She tried fighting the ruling, but 
eventually just resigned.
It took years of more fighting before the government would recognize her law degree and 
let her practice as a lawyer. By that time, Ebadi was angry - she was angry over the way 
she had been dealt with, and the way that all women and children were being treated in 
Iran.
Despite the dangers of opposing the government (people who protested were often 
arrested or simply disappeared), Ebadi set out to fight for justice and equality. She wrote 
books and articles, fought to change the legal status of women and children, took on 


cases involving dissidents who were in trouble with the government, and helped get a 
more liberal president elected in Iran.
But women and children were still second-class citizens, and anyone who spoke out 
against the government could still find themselves in deep trouble. In 2000, there was a 
series of murders of intellectuals in Iran; Ebadi and others suspected the killers were 
government thugs. They were right, but it took a long, hard struggle to prove their case, 
and Ebadi wound up in jail for daring to ask questions.
The more that Shirin Ebadi stood up for her beliefs, the more death threats and 
harassment she suffered. Finally, she was forced to flee Iran and now lives in exile in 
Canada. However, she has not stopped speaking out and campaigning for reforms in Iran 
and other countries where children and women are not treated as equals to men.
Her courageous fight for justice has won her admirers and enemies around the world, as 
well as the Nobel Prize for Peace.
