# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 21 June 1947, Ebadi became a lawyer, teacher, and judge in Iran before founding the Defenders of Human Rights Center. Her pioneering efforts for democracy and human rights — particularly for women, children, and refugees — earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003, the first Iranian so honored. By 2009 the cost of that work forced her into exile in London. In March 2026, opposition leader Reza Pahlavi named her to lead a committee drafting transitional justice regulations: a framework for courts and fact-finding commissions to reckon with abuses under the Islamic Republic. Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in 2026.
