International Women's Day [Ben Heine]

Note from Amesty International

"As Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, we know there is a direct relationship between peace, justice and respect for human rights.

As long as women are denied human rights, anywhere in the world, there can be no justice and no peace.

Recognizing women's equal rights, therefore, is an essential requirement for the creation of strong, sustainable and stable societies and ensuring that women enjoy equality with men in all areas of life is a key step to making human rights a universal reality."

--> Shirin Ebadi, 2003 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate & Irene Khan, Secretary General of Amnesty International, which was awarded the 1977 Nobel Peace Prize
