Kurdish women 1920
Two construction workers, Eren Sömer (26) and Ufuk Celik (28) were attacked and stabbed for speaking Kurdish in a park located in Ushak, Turkey. Eren Sömer was stabbed in his neck, stomach and chest, and Ufuk Celik was stabbed in his back and stomach. Sömer and Celik are in critical condition and have been under intensive care. (x)
Berivan (19) was once an Ezidi refugee who fled her village, but is now a fighter in the women’s wing of the YPÊ (Êzidxan Women’s Units) [by Joey L]
the old town of amed no longer exists. only 600 of the 7,300 parcels are left over. these 600 perforated homes and shops are no longer habitable and now threaten to collapse. almost all estate owner were expropriated, the city council has no power anymore. yeni-sur is to be built by an ottoman and seljuk architecture. the historic, narrow and winding streets of the old town will be replaced by wide roads. it will be built with 12 additional police stations and 4 large security towers. on the main tower an oversized turkish flag will soon wave there. thats the view of davutoglu and his follower. your flag and your terror will never sully the sacred soil of our ancestors. you will never prosper as long as there is only one kurd among us.

Valentine’s Day 2016 in Rojava (Western Kurdistan) by Delil Souleiman
When the use of the word Kurdistan was banned and a Kurd was singing about his lost homeland, he was calling it Gulistan (Land of Roses). Kürdistan kelimesinin kullanımı yasak olduğu zamanlarda, bir Kürd kayıp vatanı hakkında şarkı söylerken o’na Gülistan (Güller ülkesi) olarak hitap ederdi.
Ezidi children tell their stories - Life on the Border The last genocide shadowed the hearts of all Ezidis on the 3rd of August 2014. The Islamic State attacked the region Shingal in the early morning, abducted and enslaved the mothers and daughters and executed the fathers and sons.
Terrorist Turkey! You stole the childhood of those beautiful innocent kurdish children! Fotos were taken in Cizîr, Kurdistan.
Ableism in Kurdistan; an introduction
Sharing videos and photos of people with disabilites is ableist behavior. Unfortunately we see a lot of this amongst Kurds. Laughing at people you consider ‘’shet’’, sharing videos of them, videotaping them with the intention of making it laughable for others, making them say humiliating things just to record them for your likes and facebook shares. Please stop this.
Honor, misogyny, ableism, sexism and colorism in Kurdistan
There is no point in continuing to blog as I have been doing here for years now. There are many blogs exactly like mine that are more active. If I decide to keep blogging here I want to focus my blog on cultural issues within the kurdish community, like colorism, ableism and sexism.
These topics are ignored in our community and I feel like it is important for us to adress them and work on them as a society. Many Kurds get defensive when I mention this because they do not want our culture to look bad, and I completely understand I used to be this way myself. It is important for us to realize that we need to admit to the fact that our culture is not perfect if we want to be a better society.
Honor, misogyny and sexism have caused way too many deaths and suicides amongst our women and we, as a new generation have to work on this instead of following our forefathers footsteps.
our people are dying. every day the list of the murdered kurds grows. children, women and men. turkey entitles the victims as terrorists. countless turks believe the media and their government. people silence about the massacre against kurds. what can i do? set myself on fire like the two young kurdish women in 1994 so that people may stop silence about us? keep joining countless of demonstrations? hang myself, go on a hunger strike? like many of us somehow trying to make the people stop silence about the suffer of the kurds, about the turkish terror state. keep blogging about the suffer, about the killed ones? when in reality nobody cares about this, but about girls with guns. join the mountains? would i be helpful? what can i do?
Is anyone surprised tho
