Our campaign for Kurdish rights, please help!
Dear friends and supporters of peace,
For as long as anyone can remember, the Kurdish people have been abused and denied basic human rights by oppressive governments who seek to eradicate the Kurdish identity from the Middle East. Just yesterday the Syrian police shot and killed three young Kurds and wounded several others for merely celebrating Newroz, the Kurdish new year.
Mideast Youth as well as a number of Kurdish activists have started campaigning for Kurdish human rights and spreading awareness about the human rights violations of the Kurds in Kurdistan and in the diaspora as a result of decades of oppression they have faced and continue to face everyday while the international community turns the other way.
MidEast Youth is seeking to expand the project and make KurdishRights.Org a collaborative project where we Middle Easterns can all join forces against coercion, intimidation, hatred, and racism in order to shed some light upon the often forgotten brutality that the Kurds face on a daily basis by oppressive regimes.
As a Kurd myself, I believe that this site has huge potential and we expect it to be the home of Kurdish human rights advocacy, not just by Kurds but everyone who supports Kurdish rights is welcome to join us and contribute as an author.
In order to meet that goal, we need to raise at least $600 to make this website as accessible and as professional as possible, which is impossible to do without any source of funding. We need this site to be secure, as the site has survived several attacks in the past.
The Kurdish minorities all over the Middle East have suffered greatly for many decades with rarely any international or local support. This has to change, and this site will definitely contribute to this change. Now we as students and youth activists are standing up to say “enough!”
Please help us by raising this amount. If each of you donate just $10, we can reach our target sooner than expected and start working on the much-needed campaign immediately.
Please help us by donating!

J’espère que les Kurdes qui se vantent beaucoup d’être inquiet pour la cause kurde, ayant le moyen, vont faire un petit geste, juste pour pratiquer un peu la générosité mythique de notre peuple! Merci d’avance.

Je vous remercie beaucoup pour votre démarche démocratique pour la cause kurde et vous souhaite la réussite dans cette activité humanitaire. J’espère que la fraternité entre les Kurdes et les Arabes devient plus fort et l’amitié de ces peuples augmente jour après jour.
