متن سخنرانی آرشام پارسی در سمینار بررسی موانع ترویج حقوق بشر در سن خوزه کالیفرنیا (20 جون 08)

بررسی موانع رعایت و ترویج حقوق بشر در ایران تنها در صورتی امکان پذیر است که تمامی نیازها و عوامل موثر در رعایت حقوق انسان ها با هم و در کنار هم مورد بررسی قرار بگیرد. نمی توان در رابطه با حقوق بشر فعالیت کرد و یا حرف زد و آن را محدود به یک قشر جامعه دانست و یا گروهی از اعضای آن جامعه را از آن جدا کرد و یا حتی بررسی آن را به تعویق انداخت. شاید حتی به درستی نتوانیم اولویتی هم برای آن در نظر بگیریم زیرا همه ی آنها به یک اندازه اهمیت دارند.

What can I tell you about Iranian queers?

Translation of Arsham Parsi’s speech at Iranian Society for Human Rights Seminar in San Jose, California.

Studying the human rights situation in Iran is only possible if all the needs and factors that contribute to its observance are looked at alongside one another. We cannot participate in the field of human rights or even speak about it if it is applied only to one section of society, if a certain social group is excluded from it, or even if its comprehensive analysis is postponed. We cannot correctly prioritize one issue over another because all human rights are equally important. The culture of respecting human rights must be built from the bottom up.
