جایزه سیمون دو بووار دو سال است که در روز نهم ژانویه، روز سالگرد تولد این نویسندۀ بزرگ فرانسوی و نظریه پرداز دفاع از حقوق زنان، به یک شخصیت یا نهادی که در راه دفاع از حقوق زنان تلاش می کند اهدا می شود.
خانم جولیا کریستوا ، نویسنده و روانکاو معروف فرانسوی که بنیانگذار و رئیس هیأت داوران این جایزه است در گفتگویی با رادیوی ما در بارۀ جایزۀ امسال گفته است:
"سیمون دو بوار دنبالۀ مبارزۀ زنان را که دو قرن است ادامه دارد در دست گرفت . سیمون دو بوار با کتابش "جنس دوم"، که شهرتی جهانی دارد، انقلابی در این جنبش بوجود آورد. هیات داوران این جایزه که حدود بیست شخصیت جهانی را در برمی گیرد و چندین زن و مرد نویسنده، جامعه شناس، فیلسوف، روزنامه نگار و سیاستمدار در آن شرکت دارند امسال خواسته اند بر این نکته انگشت بگذارند که مبارزه برای حقوق زنان تنها مسئلۀ زنان فرانسوی، اروپایی و غربی نیست بلکه زنان را در تقریباً سراسر جهان به خود جلب کرده است. سال گذشته این چایزه به تسلیمه نسرین که تحت تعقیب و آزار است داده شد.امسال ما سخت تحت تأثیر جسارت زنان ایرانی و بدیع بودن شکل مبارزه اشان قرار گرفتیم. این جنبش کار مهمی را در جهت توضیح معنا و ماهیت حقوق بشر و حقوق زنان به خود زنان انجام می دهدو آن ها را تشویق می کند که علیه تضعیقات مبارزه کنند. کمپین یک میلیون امضاء جنبش بدیع و تازه ایست چون بر محور یک زن پیشرو و مشهور شکل نگرفته است بلکه جنبش وسیع است زیرا زنانی که در آن فعال هستندبه دیدار زنان دیگر می روند، با آن ها بحث می کنند ، خانه به خانه سر می زنند و حقوق زنان را تک به تک به آن ها توضیح می دهند. از این طریق و از راه اینترنت یک شبکۀ وسیع فکری بوجود می آورند که همنوع زنی را ، از اقشار کم درآمد گرفته تا زنان مرفه، در بر می گیرد و این دقیقاً با روح کار سیمون دو بووار همخوانی دارد. ما با اهدای این جایزه می خواهیم این زنان را تشویق کنیم و علاقه ، عشق و همبستگی خود را به آنها نشان دهیم".

by Nadias on Sat Jan 10, 2009 08:11 PM PSTYou need to stop blaming women for your problems.
It is why you are still single.
Women are not attracted to a man that keeps blaming them for his problems.
We all have obstacles in our lives and yet we over come them without blaming others.

GALLANT WOMEN OF OUR HOMELAND
by Anonymous on Sat Jan 10, 2009 07:46 AM PSTPraise the valiant pioneer women of One Million Signature campaign.
Gallant activists, members of the campaign are the guiding lights and stars of hope in our pursuit of humanity.
The achievement of women of Iran in setting their goals in their campaign for equality is a sincere model for civility in activism in this era.
I, as an Iranian am proud of the (true) women of my homeland.

Thank you, dear Nazy
by Azadeh Azad on Fri Jan 09, 2009 10:09 PM PSTYes, Iranian women are fighting against adversities brought on by the Mullahs and perpetuated by all Iranian men who have been COLLABORATORS (except for a very few of them) with the IRI. In Iran, many male university professors, artists and "intellectuals" batter their wives and take second wives following the example of the Mullahs. We have never heard of groups of men demonstrating against Sharia Laws, compulsory Hijab and polygamy. Iranian men are supporters and beneficiaries of the Islamic State when it comes to women. They harass women in the public space because, they say, they are single men. In exile, one of the men who has an omnipresent voice publishes the video of naked Britney Spears on this site on the occasion of the 2009 Simone de Beauvoir Award being won by the Iranian women for their struggle against Sharia Laws - because, he says, he is "a single man." Other Iranian secular men in exile, who are "against the IRI," leave on different blogs of this site plenty of misogynistic comments and opinions (often in the form of jokes.) I do not see much difference between men inside Iran and outside of the country when it comes to their views on women. I believe that one of the major causes of the backwardness of the Iranian society is the backwardness of the majority of the Iranian men, secular & religious!

Ps. Darius, thanks for the Lennon's song. It values women, while the Britanny one is degrading. Smart men do know the difference between the two. :-)
With all due respect to Darius...
by Nazy Kaviani on Fri Jan 09, 2009 07:08 PM PSTAnd bowing full length to the struggle of Iranian women for equality and justice in the face of adversities brought on and perpetuated by no other than Iranian men, please watch, listen, and learn...

Well-deserved
by Jahanshah Javid on Fri Jan 09, 2009 03:54 PM PSTThe One Million Signatures Campaign is one of the most important movements in Iran. Equal rights, an end to discriminatory laws against women, will be achieved. And when it does it will owe a lot to the hard work and sacrifice of this conscientious group. Tabreek and tashakor.
Congratulations
by Azadeh Azad on Fri Jan 09, 2009 06:13 PM PSTCongratulations to the Campaign activists and to all Iranian women.
Azadeh
Ps. Darius, your "Womanizer" youtube was most inappropriate for this occasion! You seem to equate being "a man after all" with being "dumb after all!!!"
