Tell me, how often does someone get the chance to meet a Nobelprize winner? And how often do you get the chance to meet a female Nobelprize winner? Let's make it more complicated. Tell me what the chance is you can meet a female muslim Nobelprize winner?
Yes, you got it right: next week I will meet Shirin Ebadi. The Center for Women's and Gender Studies of the University of Texas, has invited this extraordinary and courageous woman. She is an Iranian lawyer, human rights activist and founder of the Association for Support of Children's Rights in Iran. In 2003 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, becoming the first Iranian and the first Mulsim woman to receive the prize.
I am so excited about it and sometimes I even hesitate what question I want to ask her, since I have so many things to ask her. And I am sure there will be a lot of other people wanting to talk to her. Let me think about it...I will definitely come back with a report about this wonderful woman's visit...
