2003 Nobel Peace Prize Recipient
Ebadi is the first Iranian woman and the first Muslim woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize and the first woman in the history of the Iranian justice system to have served as a judge. She grew up in Tehran where, in 1965, she began serving as judge in the Department of Justice.

In 1992, she re-obtained a lawyer's license and set up her own practice. Come hear this fascinating and accomplished woman talk about human rights and share her insights into the rights of women and children in the context of inter-religious dialogue.
