Biography

Pegah Moshir Pour is an Iranian woman who moved to Italy following her family’s choice from her home country of Iran. Despite initial difficulties, she managed to integrate into Italian society and dedicate herself to her great passion: human rights.

Her passion for human rights was born as a result of a few incidents in her life, including seeing the moral police in action in Iran and being denied the right to participate in a school trip to Italy. These events prompted Pegah to understand the importance of human rights and to fight to defend them.

Pegah studied engineering construction architecture after high school language school and graduated with a UNESCO chair in Matera on “Pardis the Persian Garden.”

She then became dedicated to the cause of human rights, becoming a student representative to the academic senate and on the board of trustees.

She also began to study and talk about psychological and physical violence and gender differences, realizing how far behind we still are in equality. She has seen firsthand how stereotypes can affect people’s lives and how digital rights are important to ensure equality.

Pegah believes that collaboration between different ethnicities, genders, religions, generations, and states is critical to promoting human rights. She saw how the coming together of these differences led to the successful completion of the first piece of the international space station, an event that saw the entire world united in joy.

Her passion for human rights is not limited to Italy. Pegah has been involved in a number of initiatives at the international level and has shown herself to be a true human rights warrior, ready to fight for justice and equality wherever it is threatened. Her passion and commitment are an example for all those who want to make a difference in the world.
