The Kurdish people fought ISIS on behalf of the world, sacrificing thousands of lives to protect global security and humanity. Kurdish women and men stood on the front lines when others did not.

Today, Kurds are being abandoned. In Rojava, children and elderly people are living without food, clean water, electricity, or internet, cut off from the outside world under constant threat. Families struggle to survive siege-like conditions. In Rojhilat, Kurdish youth are persecuted, imprisoned, and killed simply for demanding dignity and basic human rights.

Now, ISIS has re-emerged, bringing renewed terror. Our sacred places are violated, the dignity of our martyrs is desecrated, and Kurdish women are subjected to brutal humiliation. These acts are not only attacks on the Kurdish people, but on humanity itself.

Those who defended the world against terrorism are now left unprotected. This silence enables continued suffering.

We call on the international community, governments, and human rights organizations to take immediate action: protect Kurdish civilians, ensure humanitarian aid reaches those in need, and hold perpetrators accountable.

Stand with the Kurds. We fought ISIS for the world—now the world must not turn its back on us.
