Iranian Women's News Agency

(Mashhad, Iran) The Australian reports that an all-women Internet-based news service has been launched. The purpose of the Iranian Women's News Agency (IWNA) is to improve women's rights in the Islamic republic. The plan is to report all news events while emphasizing stories of "social harm against women."

It's probably prudent to expect that the ruling Iranian mullahs won't allow the women too much freedom of speech.
