Sohrab Amiri
Iran/Germany
One of the most pressing challenges in developing nations is the underused access to sexual diagnosis due to a lack of privacy, social instability, and social stigma governing sexual behavior. As a result, Cumasu is working on a mobile platform acting as a chat box receiving real-time appointment requests with clinics via SMS for discretion, while using the technology to aid clinics to be more data-driven in their approach to care and educate for HIV/AIDS and STIs.
“..the struggle to end sexist oppression that focuses on destroying the cultural basis for such domination strengthens other liberation struggles. Individuals who fight for the eradication of sexism without struggles to end racism or classism undermine their own efforts. Individuals who fight for the eradication of racism or classism while supporting sexist oppression are helping to maintain the cultural basis of all forms of group oppression.”

A bit about Sohrab
Sohrab is passionate about education and empowering young people, he co-founded the e-commerce platform Bean Voyage at the age of 20. At the moment, he is working on his next venture, Cumasu which will allow users in developing nations to make appointments with health clinics focusing on their HIV/AIDS and STI prevention program via a discrete text message. The technology will also aid health clinics to be more data-driven to improve their outreach program. Alongside entrepreneurship, he truly believes in the power of education and giving young changemakers the resources to create their visions and impact they see for communities.
