There are situations in life where people exposed to injustice cannot cope on their own. Young people in Iran are in this situation and they urgently need our support. The right to education is a fundamental human right - as essential as breathing. Iran is strangling itself by strangling the future of its youth.
Please act by asking your government to speak up!
A movement is only as influential as the people that push it forward. Please spread the word amongst your friends, family and colleagues.
Access to education is a basic human right. Through it, people are enabled to develop their talents and skills to be able to contribute to society.
No government should deny this fundamental right to its citizens. To do so is against all legal, moral and humanitarian standards. As a result, society as a whole suffers.
Yet in Iran today, the denial of higher education is a reality that many young people are forced to endure. They are barred from universities and institutions of higher learning because they have political views, social affiliations or religious convictions rejected by the Islamic Republic.
Student activists, women’s rights activists, human rights defenders, and members of religious and ethnic minorities are often excluded for their commitment to their beliefs.
The youth of Iran, denied access to education, urgently need our support. As members of a global community, it is our responsibility to ensure this right is respected. It is time to bring the unjust and oppressive practices of the government of the Islamic Republic to an end.
