Your donations helped launch Alliance For Kurdish Rights (AKR)
June 8th, 2008
A new website and campaign, Alliance for Kurdish Rights (AKR) is an independent and self-funded project started by a group of students and youth activists who wish to campaign for change and address the issue of Kurdish rights in the Middle East and abroad.
Through the website, AKR aims to campaign for Kurdish human rights and spread 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 every day while the international community turns the other way.
Our mission is to find and report as many human rights abuses as possible against the Kurdish minority and actively campaign against these crimes in order to inspire change within legal systems and policies that discriminate against Kurds in countries such as Turkey, Syria, and Iran.
Expect this platform to be a forceful tool that empowers the Kurdish voice. AKR aims to mobilize public opinion, collect information and disseminate knowledge about human rights abuses. And most of all, expect AKR to be very hopeful and ambitious, because activists at AKR will never give up until ensured the fact that Kurds in the region are able to benefit from basic human rights which enables them to speak freely and powerfully after many years of silence.
AKR encourages all to join forces with us 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. Now AKR, made up of students and youth activists, is standing up to say “Enough is Enough!”
AKR hopes that you will join us in this struggle.
