Introduction to the Siyavash App
Die Siyavash-App ist eine Informations- und Serviceplattform, die mit dem Ziel ins Leben gerufen wurde, Migrant:innen und Geflüchtete in Deutschland zu unterstützen.
Who was Siyavash?
Siyavash Mahmoudi was a 16-year-old teenager who was shot and killed by the security forces of the Islamic Republic during the protests against the state killing of Mahsa (Jina) Amini on the streets of Tehran.
We, at the Human Rights Action Association, believe that the names and memories of those who lost their lives in the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement must be kept alive. Therefore, we dedicate our projects to these courageous individuals.
Goals of the Siyavash App
1.Providing practical information and services to ease the process of residency, integration, and improving the daily quality of life for migrants and refugees in Germany.
2.Creating job opportunities for housewives, students, and multilingual individuals.
