Activities
The journalist’s career, Shadi Sadr, began at the age of 15 when she won the contest for the youth magazine, Sorush-e-Nojavan. “ I didn’t choose journalism, she chose me ,” said Sadr. [one]
The Raahi Center was closed by the Iranian authorities in 2007 during a wave of reprisals against society. Shadi Sadr supported campaigns such as the Stop Stoning Forever in Iran, as well as the Global Campaign to End the Execution, initiated by women living under Muslim law (WLUML). [2]
She has received several awards, such as the Ida B Wells Award for Courage in Journalism, the Alexander Prize Award from the Santa Clara University School of Law, and the Department of State's Women of Courage Award. In July 2010, Shadi Sadr launched the new Justice for Iran project, organized by WLUML, which advocates and protects women's rights in an increasingly discriminatory environment in Iran and addresses the issue of impunity for sexual violence against women by the Iranian state.
