Speech topic:

The role of mothers and women fighting for human rights and justice in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Fariba Ehsan has lived in Madrid, Spain since 1995 and has a long history of involvement in human rights work. Since 1990, she worked as a volunteer for the Spanish NGO Solidarios para el Desarrollo, where she remained active until 2007. Since 2009, she has been part of Amnesty International, focusing on issues of discrimination, immigrant rights and various human rights campaigns. That same year, she and other Iranians who have been fighting for many years to bring democracy and human rights to Iran founded the Iranian Association for Human Rights in Spain. (Currently as president of the AIPDH) The main objective of the Association is to raise international awareness about the situation in Iran and other parts of the world. Her activities are not limited to Iranian issues, but she also contributes to broader human rights initiatives, including her recent participation in WISE (Women’s Independent and Sustainable Equality) in Barcelona in 2024 and as a member of the juries at the Fedcomed festival (8th edition of the International Film Festival for Democratic Memory). Her work embodies a sustained commitment to equality and freedom, particularly through campaigns and collaborative efforts aimed at empowering marginalized communities in Spain and supporting the freedom of women and activists in Iran.
