Woman, Life, Freedom:
Perspectives on recent Women-Led Uprising in Iran from a panel of students and faculty at UC Davis.
By Office of Student and Resident Diversity
The Iranian Student Interest Group and advisor Dr. Elham Vali Betts, along with the Diversity Advisory Council invites you to our panel discussion from faculty and students on the recent uprising in Iran.
The killing of Mahsa Amini by the morality police has led to nationwide protests in Iran over the past 100 days. These protests have been met with resistance from the government and have led to mass crackdowns, arrests, and the death of many more, children included. We hope to share the perspectives of UC Davis students and faculty on these recent events and how it has impacted them and their families. We hope to shed light on these events and stand in solidarity with our Iranian community.
“UC Davis is committed to upholding fundamental human rights, health equity, and justice. We affirm the dignity inherent in all and stand against the use of violence, repression, and discrimination. We stand with all people around the world, who rightfully call for justice, safety, and peace. As an academic health community know that these are essential building blocks for health and wellness. Let us continue to strive toward that fundamental vision.”
