As a Kurdish user and a passionate advocate for cultural representation, the absence of the Kurdish flag on HelloTalk is a deeply felt issue. HelloTalk, as a language-learning platform, offers a unique space for cultural exchange and respect among its users. This platform is where languages meet and cultural boundaries dissolve, forming a vibrant global community.

The inclusion of the Kurdish flag is not merely a political statement; rather, it signifies the recognition and acceptance of our language, identity, and cultural essence in this global network. For users like me, seeing our flag is a profound affirmation of existence and acknowledgment. It symbolizes that the Kurdish language and culture have a place in today's interconnected world.

Historically, the Kurdish people have faced numerous challenges in having our identity recognized on a global scale. The presence of the Kurdish flag will send a powerful message of inclusion and respect, not only to Kurdish users but to the entire HelloTalk community. It will encourage a broader understanding and appreciation of the diverse tapestry of cultures that enrich our world.

Language is a cornerstone of cultural identity. By restoring the Kurdish flag, HelloTalk will be affirming its commitment to inclusivity and diversity, essential values for any educational and cultural exchange platform. This move is not only about the visibility of the Kurdish flag but about fostering an environment where users of all backgrounds feel acknowledged and valued.

I urge HelloTalk to reflect on its mission to connect users through shared respect and understanding. Please sign this petition to support the restoration of the Kurdish flag on HelloTalk, signaling our collective commitment to cultural diversity and recognition.
