SUPPORT THE WOMEN + GIRLS FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM IN IRAN
Solidarity With Women Protesting in Iran
Write to your MP asking them to support Iranian women’s rights publicly.
It is up to us to support Iran’s people in their current fight against the regime’s human rights violations. One measure you can take is to write to your member of Parliament or Congress to show that this issue is important to you and to demand that your government is taking a stand as well. If more and more countries around the globe condemn Iran’s dictatorship and take decisive action, the political nature can be changed.
Go to your government’s official website to find more about who is your representative or member of Parliament, roll those sleeves up, and get to typing.
Donate to or support human rights organizations. Add your pricing strategy. Be sure to include important details like value, length of service, and why it’s unique.
Prior to Mahsa Jina Amini’s death, there have been plenty of organizations and clubs around the world supporting the rights of Iranian women, Kurds, and minorities oppressed by the regime. Here are some of the organizations where you can either donate to, or if budget is tight, offer your help:
The Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) works to protect human rights in Iran by researching and documenting human rights violations across the country as well as disclosing them to the public to bring about change.
The Abdorrahman Boroumand Center is a non-governmental organization that commits itself to the rights of all victims of human rights violations, and uses research, documentation, publications, and outreach to restore dignity to Iran’s population.
IKWRO is a registered charity in the UK providing advice and support to Middle Eastern, North African, and Afghan women and girls. It also offers training for them to understand their rights.
As a global movement, Amnesty International did not hesitate to take action and has created a petition for you to sign.
Flamingo e.V. is a non-profit association in Germany that supports refugee women and children irrespective of their origin and residence status to start a self-determined life.
HÁWAR.help is a registered non-governmental organization in Germany and Iraq, working to protect human rights for everyone, regardless of their ethnic background, gender, faith, or lifestyle through international awareness-raising and political advocacy campaigns.
Attend events where you learn more about oppressed communities.
There is no better way to learn about an issue than to talk to those concerned by human rights violations. Organizations are creating panels, workshops, meet-ups, and more to give a stage to people oppressed by the Iranian government and to mobilize the public to stand up and demand change. You can check your social media for events in your vicinity or search online.
