زن. زندگی. آزادی

Dear iBridges Community,

We are heartbroken and appalled by the killing of young Jina (Mahsa) Amini and the following violence against ordinary citizens who merely stand up for their fundamental human rights and demand justice and equality.
At iBridges, we have always been committed to creating an inclusive community that aims to build bridges of collaboration. We firmly believe that the economic and cultural advancement of any nation and its people requires equality, inclusion, and justice for all. Any nation that does not hold up the rights of its citizens will cripple its progress and be unable to reach its inherent potential.

We believe that Women's Rights are a fundamental driver for the advancement of any society and are committed to supporting young female entrepreneurs.
We stand with the youth and in particular, the women of Iran who have courageously arisen to demand their basic rights.

WE CAN NOT REMAIN SILENT

We have always taken pride in iBRIDGES being a community that welcomes all innovators and entrepreneurs. Our aim has always been to empower participants by exchanging ideas and learning from best practices.

We believe in the future.
We believe that everyone has the opportunity and responsibility to build a better tomorrow for us all. And with this aspiration in mind, we cannot fathom a future when a brutal regime systematically targets Iranian youth and children and suppresses their opportunities for a prosperous future.

Yesterday, 16 November 2022, in the city of Izeh in the Iranian province of Khuzestan, a ten-year-old boy was killed by military-grade ammunition; his name was Kian Pirfalak. Kian dreamt of being an innovator and inventor. He had developed and tested a water propeller he planned to submit to Iran’s Khwarizmi Festival of Innovation (https://youtu.be/9dnechYcyoM). With so much ingenuity at such a young age, we are sure Kian would make many significant contributions to his community and country if he had been allowed to live a full life.
Now that is no longer a possibility.

As a community dedicated to establishing a global innovation economy that advances prosperity for all, we stand by the brave Iranian people and courageous Iranian women in their quest for their fundamental human rights.

We believe that a just and inclusive society that offers equal opportunities to all citizens is essential for innovation to flourish. Thus we unequivocally condemn acts of brutality against Iranian youth, children, and women.

We invite all members of the global community, particularly innovators and entrepreneurs of all nations, to support the Iranian people in their efforts to achieve a free and just society.

A year ago, Mahsa Jina Amini's unjust death became a symbol of the larger struggle for freedom in Iran. In her memory, and in honor of the thousands of young Iranians who stood up for their beliefs, we emphasize the vital role of youth in shaping a nation's future.


At iBRIDGES, we are dedicated to nurturing the potential of young Iranians, supporting their aspirations and dreams. Today, we pause to remember and to hope for a future where every young person can pursue their ambitions freely and safely.

May the memories of those lost guide us towards prosperity and freedom.
