| Dear Yona, In October we launched the #Watch4Women of Iran campaign to pressure the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) to ban Iran from hosting future volleyball tournaments unless they allow female spectators to attend. As a result of that campaign, we got a meeting with the FIVB in which they promised to do everything they could to allow women to attend tournaments in Iran. It is now time to make some noise once again! On February 15 Iran will hold the men’s beach volleyball world tour on Kish Island. We want the FIVB to stand by their promises and let female spectators attend these games. With 10 days to go, we need your support to make sure the FIVB hear our call! Tweet the FIVB now!
Paste the message below on the FIVB’s Facebook page
Actions speak louder than words. FIVB should let women in Iran attend the February Kish Open. #Watch4Women http://bit.ly/1O3Mh6B Stand with Human Rights Watch and the women of Iran. Visit http://www.hrw.org/watch4women to find out how you can pressure the FIVB to ban Iran from hosting until they stop banning women. With much gratitude, Minky Worden,
