Keeping Iran's Heart Beating - stories of women's rights activists (exhibition)

20-24 March

Women in Iran are often portrayed as victims - helplessly unable to stand up and claim their own rights. The truth, however, is that Iranian women are at the very heart of the human rights movement, and are some of the most courageous and effective human rights campaigners in Iran. 

Keeping Iran's heart beating - stories of women's rights activists is an exhibition which celebrates Iranian women's rights defenders. It showcases the women, and the men, who stand up for women's rights in Iran on a daily basis and seeks to tell their story. 

This exhibition, which is partly funded by TCD Community Initiative Fund, has been put together by members of the Amnesty Iran group in Ireland, with the support of Amnesty International. 
This exhibition profiles 19 women’s rights activists from Iran. Many have been imprisoned for their work and some have been forced into exile but they continue to fight for women’s rights in Iran.
The exhibition will be launched by Senator Ivana Bacikk and Kaveh Kermanshahi on Tuesday 20th March at 1230pm. All welcome.

Venue: Foster Place, College Green (next to the Wax Museum) Dates: Tuesday 20th March - Saturday 24th March.
Opening hours: 10am-6pm.
