 The 4th volume of the Working From Within series titled: "Working From Within 2011 - Report on the Status of Women & Youth in Iran" has been published today.
The Working from Within 2011 depicts the unheard stories, opening eyes to the brutal suppression Iranians face everyday in their country.

Additionally, as 2011 marked the year of the highest imprisonments, torture, execution and ill-treatment, charts and lists were created to document those occurrences. Downloadable PDF, 728 pages.
