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.
