Joanne Michele

Campaign Coordinator and Middle East Correspondent | Iran Specialist

"I believe that meaningful change to further human rights must be brought about in the capitals of our nations.

I am involved in women's rights issues in the Middle East - specifically Iran - with Safe World.

In the Safe World family, I have found people who not only work tirelessly to further women's rights, but also the rights of other marginalized minorities and majorities. (Women form a majority of most societies).

My goal is to empower women around the world so not only will they prosper, but so society as a whole might finally become the egalitarian paradise that we all envision.

For now, Iran is my central focus at Safe World, especially since the regime there is perhaps one of the most, if not the most, misogynistic governments in the world.

I spend most of my days happily working to get the world's attention towards injustice under the guise of morality.

Since September 17, 2011, I have been covering the Occupy movement as a citizen journalist."
