The Kurds of Khorasan - Iran

Faezeh, the Hadi's daughter, having Pitcher in her hands is coming out of the kitchen, which is also her and her sisters and brother bedroom. She was forced to stop going to school because of helping her parents with household chores. 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.
