“Woman – Life – Freedom” for all

In cooperation with the Baha’i community and the Kurdish Culture association we invite you to an enlightening and important panel discussion about minority rights in Iran.

The Bahá'í community in Iran has faced systematic persecution for decades, including imprisonment, denial of education and employment, and destruction of property and cemeteries. Similarly, Kurdish people in Iran have experienced significant cultural, political, and economic marginalization. After Mahsa Jina Amini`s brutal death a new page was opened for Iranians. These issues not only impact the lives of individuals but also threaten the broader pursuit of peace and justice in the region.

This event aims to shed light on the human rights challenges faced by these and other minority communities and explore pathways toward greater understanding, advocacy and social cohesion.

Panelists:

• Mahmood Amiri Moghaddam, founder of Iran Human Rights
• Simin Fahandej, Representative of Bahai International Community office in Geneva
• Avin Rostami, Poet and Representative of Kurdish Culture association
• Farzaneh Milani, Professor at the Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies,University of Virginia
