What kind of work did Shirin Ebadi Do?What made her deserve the Nobel peace prize?

What kind of work did she do to fight for what she wanted?What made her deserve the Nobel peace prize?|||I have to be honest and say I was not familiar with the lady so I did have to look it up and this is what is says:-





Shirin Ebadi ( born 21st June 1947) is an Iranian lawyer, human rights activist and founder of Centre for the Defence of Human Rights in Iran.


On October 10th 2003, Ebadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her significant and pioneering efforts for democracy and human rights, especially women's, children's, and refugee rights. She was the first ever Iranian, and the first Muslim woman to have received the prize.





I have given you a web site that is a bio on Shirin Ebadi and you should be able to glean more information from the site.








Edit - I thought it was a coincidence that someone had asked a question about the same person, but I have noticed that your question has been entered twice did you know, so sorry you have the same answer from me twice.
