Rishola

The Kurds call this bird a RISHOLA (starling). They believe that these birds are sacred and that the release of each one will cleanse the sins of their dead. Kurds buy these birds with money and release them, vowing to cleanse the sins of their loved ones who die

DOES TOMORROW EVER COME ?


            Hello, I'm  Roza Tatani



I am a journalist, political activist, and women’s rights activist. I am from Sulaymaniyah city in Kurdistan. Kurdistan is a country that has been split into four parts according to the Treaty of Lausanne on 24 July 1923. The Kurds have a comprehensive resistance, and my journalistic works are about the resistance, inequity, economic crisis, social crisis, and war crimes that their enemies committed against them. In addition, another part of my work is about women's freedom and gender inequality because war is the main cause of the struggle in front of social development, especially in Kurdistan war is the first reason social problems are in the shadow, ignoring women's rights and gender matters.
