The Kurds of Khorasan - Iran

Mahdi, dressed in a special cloak, is standing in the sheep pen at night. Mahdi or another member of his family must sleep among the sheep at night to protect them, and for this purpose they have prepared special cloak to keep them warm. They are one of the Kurdish nomadic families of Kermanj who were forced to migrate from their homeland to these areas to protect the eastern borders of Iran, and during this period they lost many of their cultural characteristics and behaviors. They are animal husbandry now and still speak Kurdish, but the clothes they wear are no longer Kurdish and their behaviors have completely changed and most of them do not even know where their original birthplace was.

    Amik Plain Agriculture Workers - Turkey

    A girl picks onions in the farmlands of Amik Plain, located on the Syrian border in Reyhanli district of Hatay, Turkey, on May 23, 2024. Thanks to its climate and fertile soil, farmers grow many crops in all seasons. The fertility of the plain continues to be a source of livelihood for agricultural workers. Apart from the region's people, seasonal workers from different provinces of Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia come to work in specific periods. The majority of the workers are Syrian families. Syrian Arabs and Kurds make up 80 percent of the workers. Workers come to the fields at dawn and work in the scorching heat until the evening. Landowners see young, old, and children as cheap labor with poor working conditions and wages. Child laborers earn 550 Turkish Liras (US$17) a day, while adult laborers earn between 1000 Turkish Liras (US$31) and 1700 Turkish Liras (US$53).

                      Nowruz Celebration - Iraq

                      Nowruz Celebration - Iraq

                      Nowruz, which means 'new day' in Persian, is celebrated to mark the arrival of spring and the first day of the Iranian calendar. It is also celebrated by the Kurds, where it is an important symbol of national identity. The roots of this ancient tradition of marking the spring equinox lie in Zoroastrianism, and the fact that it is widely celebrated in Iran and neighbouring regions has led to its inclusion on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list. The town of Akre is considered the capital of Newroz, and tens of thousands of people flock here every year on 20 March to take part in the celebrations. Despite the cold, windy and rainy weather, over 75,000 people gathered in the town to celebrate this year's Newroz, including Masrour Barzani, the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region.
