Iran: education

Universitystudents in Southampton launched a campaign called Can You Solve This? to help young Iranians who are barred from higher education. This campaign aims to bring to light the fact that Iran, one of the world’s most egregious human rights abusers, oppresses and discriminates against its own population.
Education is one of the fundamental rights.
The campaign uses a QR (Quick Response) code to attract attention.
