Kurdish rights refer to the political, cultural, and social rights of the Kurdish people, an ethnic group primarily found in regions of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. These rights include the recognition of their language, culture, and identity, as well as the right to self-determination and political representation. In many countries, Kurds have faced discrimination and repression, leading to movements advocating for greater autonomy and rights. The situation varies by country; for instance, Iraqi Kurdistan has achieved a degree of autonomy, while Kurds in Turkey have historically faced significant challenges in expressing their identity.
