    Feature
    Duration : 41s
    (New York) – Iran should stop preventing women and girls from attending volleyball matches and take further steps to promote gender equality, opening a digital advocacy campaign to promote respect for women’s rights in the country.
    The campaign coincides with the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) Men’s Club World Championship in Brazil, from October 27 to November 1, 2015, and an impending decision about whether to allow Iran to host the 2016 FIVB beach volleyball tournament.
