Absolutely. I support the campaign to end gender apartheid in Iran. I'm actually a core member, core person, in a group of Iranian and Afghan activists who launched the campaign to end gender apartheid. What we're trying to do is expand the legal definition of apartheid to include not just race but gender as well. We're trying to codify it in international law so that those who are responsible for these crimes can hopefully be prosecuted one day in the International Criminal Court, but also, symbolically, for me, this campaign isn't just about gender issues specifically.
I know that as parliamentarians, you can't come straight out and say that you are for regime change in Iran, but you can support a campaign like ending gender apartheid. Former prime minister Brian Mulroney championed ending racial apartheid in South Africa. He convinced people like Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher to have the political will to stand behind a campaign like this, and I believe we can champion the same to end gender apartheid in Iran.
