State: proposed
Decision: D10
Why: Policy follows numbers. Where statistics cannot see a community, its schools, services and needs go unseen too.
Evidence: UN DESA counts people born in Iran who live abroad. It cannot count their children and grandchildren. [verified] (UN DESA International Migrant Stock 2024)
Ask: Read the observatory note for your country.
Ask: When a census or survey asks about ancestry or language, answer as you choose. We never tell anyone what to answer.
Ask: Tell us how your country's statistics ask, so the note stays accurate.
Milestone: Observatory note for every country programme · in-progress
Milestone: Plain-language guide to each census that asks about ancestry or language · planned
Milestone: Guides translated into the community's languages · planned

State: proposed
Decision: D10
Why: Heritage schools run on volunteers. Most work alone, without a shared curriculum or training.
Ask: Volunteer to teach or assist at a school near you.
Ask: Take the teacher training course.
Ask: Share your school's teaching materials under an open licence.

State: proposed
Decision: D10
Why: Human rights organisations document transnational repression against Iranians abroad. Phishing is one documented method, and passkeys with careful habits protect against it.
Evidence: Freedom House documents transnational repression by several states, including Iran and Türkiye, against people abroad: threats, family coercion, digital attacks and phishing. [secondary] (Freedom House, Transnational Repression)
Ask: Take the digital safety course.
Ask: Switch your main accounts to passkeys or an authenticator app.
Ask: Report impersonation of the organisation or its members.
