Yasmine Pahlavi - Etemad-Amini

Yasmine Pahlavi was born Yasmine Etemad Amini in Tehran, Iran on July 26, 1968. She attended the private Tehran Community School in Tehran until the rising tensions in the late 1970s forced her family to leave Iran permanently. They settled in the San Francisco area in California where she attended and matriculated Notre Dame High School. She is a graduate of The George Washington University, obtaining a B.A. in Political Science, and Doctorate in Jurisprudence from The George Washington University Law School. She worked for ten years as a staff attorney for Children's Law Center in Washington, DC, representing the rights of at-risk youth. She is the Founder and a Director of the Foundation for the Children of Iran. Started in 1991, the Foundation's mission is to marshal the considerable resources and goodwill of the Iranian diaspora coupled with remarkable expertise and generosity of the American medical community to treat Iranian children suffering from complex medical conditions. Organized under the 501(c)(3) rules of Internal Revenue Service, the Foundation has faithfully fulfilled its mission restoring the health and quality of life for scores of Iranian children regardless of race, religion, or political affiliations. Yasmine married Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi on June 12, 1986, and the couple have three daughters: Noor Pahlavi (born April 3, 1992), Iman Pahlavi (born September 12, 1993) and Farah Pahlavi (born January 17, 2004)
