Narges Mohammadi Awarded 2023 Nobel Peace Prize for Work Fighting Oppression of Women in Iran

Narges Mohammadi, a jailed Iranian women's rights advocate, has been awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize for her work in fighting the oppression of women in her home country. She is the first Iranian to win the award since it was first awarded in 1901 and was chosen from a list of over 350 nominations. The Nobel Committee said it was recognizing Mohammadi's "long and non-violent struggle for the protection of human rights, in particular the rights of women and children, in Iran."
