Book Review:ย The Handmaidโs Tale
In The Handmaidโs Tale, Margaret Atwood imagines a society where women are stripped of rights and autonomyโa fiction that echoes the real suffering of many Ezidi women. Forced to lose their identities, endure sexual violence, and bear children under coercion, Ezidi women continue to survive, resist, and reclaim their voices. Atwoodโs story reminds readers that literature can reflect reality, urging reflection, empathy, and action for those whose voices have been silenced.
The Minority Quota Seats in the Iraqi Parliament – Its Structure and Purpose
The Ezidi quota seat in Nineveh was won by Khalid Sido, backed by the KDP, despite many independent Ezidi candidates from Sinjar running. The open voting system allowed non-Ezidi voters to influence the outcome, and the KDPโs organizational power ensured their candidateโs victory. As a result, the seat provides symbolic representation but limited political independence for Ezidis, leaving Sinjarโs displaced population with minimal influence over their own reconstruction, security, and rights.

Uma resposta a ฤฐkbal Dรผrre: por que os Ezidis na Rรบssia nรฃo sรฃo contados nas estatรญsticas demogrรกficas curdas
ฤฐkbal Dรผrre afirma que os Ezidis na Rรบssia deveriam ser contados como curdos. Mas isso ignora um fato fundamental: os Ezidis sรฃo um povo com identidade prรณpria e uma fรฉ โ Sharfadin โ que antecede e se distingue da identidade curda. Se eles se identificam como Ezidis, a Rรบssia os registra corretamente. Forรงรก-los a entrar em estatรญsticas curdas seria uma distorรงรฃo de sua identidade.
Respuesta a ฤฐkbal Dรผrre: Por quรฉ los Ezidis en Rusia no se contabilizan en las estadรญsticas demogrรกficas kurdas
Rusia contabiliza a los Ezidis como Ezidis porque asรญ se identifican ellos mismos. Los Ezidis son un pueblo con una identidad รฉtnica ancestral y una fe propia, el Sharfadin, distinta y anterior a cualquier otra clasificaciรณn. Reducirlos a una etiqueta que rechazan no es anรกlisis demogrรกfico, sino una imposiciรณn polรญtica sobre la identidad de un pueblo.
Een antwoord aan ฤฐkbal Dรผrre over waarom Ezidiโs in Rusland niet als Koerden worden geteld
In een recent opiniestuk beweert ฤฐkbal Dรผrre dat Rusland het aantal Koerden verkeerd telt, omdat Ezidiโs zich als Ezidiโs registreren en niet als Koerden. Dit argument negeert een fundamenteel feit: Ezidiโs zijn een eigen volk, met een eeuwenoude etnische identiteit en de religie Sharfadin, die losstaat van een Koerdische identiteit. Wanneer Ezidiโs zichzelf als Ezidi identificeren en Rusland hen dienovereenkomstig registreert, is dat geen fout, maar een correcte erkenning van wie zij zijn.
A Response to ฤฐkbal Dรผrre: Why Ezidis in Russia Are Not Counted in Kurdish Demographic Statistics
Flere hundrede tusinde ezidere i Rusland identificerer sig som ezidere. Dette er deres ret og en anerkendelse af deres unikke etniske og religiรธse arv. Ingen udenforstรฅende har autoritet til at รฆndre, hvordan de selv vรฆlger at definere deres identitet.
