Sabrina Saqeb
Sabrina Saqeb is an Afghan politician who served as a member of parliament from 2005 to 2010. She received media attention in 2009 when she participated in and helped organize protests against a law passed by Afghan president Hamid Karzai pertaining to Shiite personal law. Among other things, the law required women to have sex with their husbands at a certain frequency, and required women to get permission before leaving their house. After completing her tenure in parliament, Saqeb co-founded an organization called the "Research Institute for Women, Peace and Security," and became an advocate for Women's rights.
