The Minority Rights Resource Center is a dedicated hub for addressing the issues faced by ethnic minorities in Iran, including Baluchis, Kurds, Azerbaijani Turks and other minority groups in Iran. Ethnic minorities in Iran consistently score poorly on social, economic, and political rights indicators, including unemployment, educational attainment, and rates of child marriage.
Change will only come however if these communities are placed at the center of human rights promotion efforts. Therefore, Minority Rights Resource Centre provides capacity-building and support to organizations and human rights defenders for these communities around policy advocacy, research, media engagement, and digital security.
