Why we need a women's party

"I will fight for equal rights for girls and women until my last breath."

That is the promise of Hourvash Pourkian, founder of the "International Women in Power" initiative. The successful businesswoman and human rights activist has been fighting for equal rights for women her entire life. All over the world, but especially in Islamic countries, women are affected by oppression, violence and discrimination, says Pourkian. Now she wants to launch a party - by women, for women. A party that stands up for women's rights and fights for women, men and humans worldwide to finally and truly have equal rights.
