High Council for Women and Development (HCWD)

Met with the newly appointed Director of Rizgari Hospital and highlighted the importance of prioritizing the health and wellbeing of women and girls. @Kurdistan remains committed to creating meaningful opportunities for women and girls to actively contribute to their society.

As we mark 128 years of Kurdish Journalism, we stress: the media must reflect women as they truly are—not through stereotypes or distortion. The HCWD Media Ethical Charter is a call for responsibility, equality, and dignity in every story. #EthicalMedia #GenderEquality

Honored to be awarded a Token of Appreciation by the InternationalRescueCommittee @RESCUEorg for supporting projects implemented with local partners to assist vulnerable communities in Kurdistan. Grateful for the collaboration, and thanks to GIZ for their vital support.

I stood with the families of martyred Peshmerga. @Kurdistan Behind every fallen one stand courageous women- mothers, wives, and daughters- carrying the weight of sacrifice with dignity. We honor them by continuing their mission and struggle until every occupier leaves Kurdistan.

Happy Akitu and a blessed New Year to Chaldean, Assyrian, and Syriac communities in Kurdistan and across the world. Honoring especially the women who carry language, culture, and faith across generations. May this year bring peace, dignity, and renewal. Akitu Brikha! 🌸✨

March 11 is more than an agreement. The March 11 Agreement led by Mustafa Barzani carried the hopes of a nation-and Kurdistani women were part of that struggle. Mothers, daughters& sisters protected our identity and raised generations who refused to surrender their rights.

رۆژی جلوبەرگی نه‌ته‌وه‌یی لە گه‌لی كوردستان به‌ سه‌رجه‌م نه‌ته‌وه‌و ئایین و ئایینزاكان، پیرۆزدەکەین.. هەر میللەتێك خاوەنی كلتورو دابونەریتی خۆیەتی. جلوبەرگی نەتەوەیی بەشێکی گرنگی ناسنامەی نەتەوەیە. پاراستنی زمان و کەلتوور.. ئەرکێکی پیرۆزو نەتەوەییە.
