Marking the First Anniversary of the Women, Life, Freedom in Iran

The Significance of September 16th

On September 16, 2023, we commemorate the first anniversary of the Women, Life, Freedom Revolution in Iran. This courageous movement has been fighting an uphill battle against an oppressive regime to restore basic human rights, especially for women. From unlawful killings to widespread torture, the Iranian government has committed an unfathomable number of atrocities against its own people.

Despite the valiant efforts of countless Iranian women, the state has responded with heightened suppression. The “morality” police have returned with a vengeance, and women continue to suffer from a spectrum of abuse, ranging from confiscation of property to degrading punishments such as washing corpses. All of this, while the global community watches.

The time for platitudes is over. On this anniversary, it’s crucial to extend beyond statements and take tangible actions. Activists, human rights organizations, and governments worldwide are organizing events on September 16th, 2023, to mark this crucial anniversary. It’s more urgent than ever for Costa Rica, a country with a strong legacy in advocating for human rights and women’s rights, to join these voices and condemn Iran’s actions unequivocally.

Call for a Letter to President Rodrigo Chaves Robles

We invite our fellow Costa Ricans to sign our letter urging President Rodrigo Chaves Robles to officially condemn the human rights abuses in Iran and call on governments worldwide to do the same. Costa Rica has a rich history of promoting human rights, and this is a moment where our voice can make a significant impact.
