We recognize the ongoing struggle of people of Kurdistan and Kurds in diaspora through affirming the principle of self determination. Through this initiative, the shared goal is to recognize and promote the diverse way of life that Kurdistan has offered historically with the goal of preserving it through an inclusive framework in the face of continued oppression, forced assimilation, and displacement. We invite people from all backgrounds to stand in solidarity with Kurds in their fight against occupying forces. Kurdistanî Students’ Association of the University of Toronto particularly aims to fostering critical discussion through academic collaboration while also cultivating a strong and supportive community through social and cultural programming with the promise of non-partisanship. Join us in the advocacy for jin, jiyan, azadî — woman, life, freedom.
