Harvest Strategy Group Inc., an ACA International member company based in Denver, Colorado, recently made a charitable contribution to the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center (ABC) for Human Rights in Iran. The nonprofit organization is working toward a peaceful transition in Iran by documenting human rights abuses and promoting democratic values.
ABC works to expose the ongoing government obstruction of rights and freedoms—freedoms that one may take for granted in a democratic nation: the right to a fair trial, the right to defend oneself in a court of law, the freedom to grow up without being forcefully married as a minor, the right to leave an abusive marriage, and more.
“In our part of the world, these kinds of abuses may feel distant, obscure, or even forgotten,” said David Ravin, executive vice president at Harvest Strategy Group. “While we remain committed to local outreach, we believe in focusing on the causes that matter to us most and this is one of them. We’re mindful of the legal protections, processes, and freedoms we enjoy—and the lack thereof in other more oppressive environments. In places like Iran, lawyers are routinely persecuted. Freedom of speech and the right to a fair trial, among other civil liberties, are still not available in some countries.”
