Dear Rollins Community
Today, because the United States takes on Iran within the FIFA World Cup, we’re all reminded of the continued combat for human rights, particularly girls’s rights, in Iran. For the previous two months, I’ve watched in horror as hundreds of individuals, together with youngsters, had been overwhelmed, imprisoned, and killed in Iran whereas protesting the demise of Martha Amini, a 22-year-old girl who was brutally murdered by police. I’ve seen it in my thoughts. Guarantee parental rights and shield girls’s rights. I’m impressed by the braveness and tenacity of the Iranian individuals of their pursuit of human rights.
At the core of our mission and imaginative and prescient is to enhance the well being and well-being of individuals world wide and try to attain optimum inhabitants well being, high quality of life, and social justice.
