Today, we honor the memory of Jina Mahsa Amini<\/strong>, whose life and legacy continue to inspire the struggle for justice, equality, and human rights. Jina\u2019s tragic death sparked global awareness and solidarity, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by women and marginalized communities, particularly in Kurdistan and Iran.<\/p>\n

As a community committed to Kurdish studies, we reflect on the importance of amplifying voices that are often silenced. Her story reminds us of the vital role that education, scholarship, and activism play in promoting social change.<\/p>\n

We invite students, faculty, and the broader community to take a moment today to reflect on Jina Mahsa Amini\u2019s legacy and reaffirm our commitment to justice and human rights.<\/p>\n
