Artists from around the world will come together in solidarity with the Iranian people's struggle for human rights and democracy. The day will be filled with music, visual arts & performing arts not only to highlight the violations of human rights and specifically institutional violence and discrimination against women, but also to bring awareness and celebrate the Civil Rights Movement in Iran.

The event will honor the 61st anniversary of the UN adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the U.N. International Human Rights Day (December 10^th ).
