Background
Kurds, along with Alawites, Christians, and other minorities in Rojava, face systematic attacks, displacement, and threats to their identity and survival. Women and children are especially at risk. These communities were key UK allies in the fight against ISIS. As a nation founded on democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, the UK must not remain silent. Protecting them upholds British values, counters extremism, and honors shared sacrifices for security.
