Simin Behbahani,representative of campaign for one million signatures, received the award .

Behbahani quoted her campaign colleagues: “we follow our constitution and it is in our constitution that we do not except cash from inside or outside if they are not our members, hence the prize money which we were presented with we have presented it back to the Simone de Beauvoir foundation and we will allow them to use any way they see fit. But we accept the thought and proudly accept the subjective thought of the prize”.

Behbahani received the prize and thanked the host and spoke about the courage and the strength of the women in her country and in the campaign which has put them in grave dangers, she also thanked all the media present.
