The Kurdistan Diaspora Confederation is an umbrella organization that connects and supports Kurdish communities abroad. It works to strengthen Kurdish identity and culture, lobby for national interests and rights, and bridge the diaspora with their homeland through political, cultural, and social activities. The confederation also works to organize, promote, and advocate for the interests and well-being of Kurds in diaspora communities worldwide.
The purpose and goals of the confederation are to create a strong and unified front for the Kurdish diaspora by fostering collaboration among various organizations, associations, and federations. It works to preserve and promote Kurdish culture, history, and language through events, seminars, and educational programs. The organization also lobbies for Kurdish national interests and rights on an international stage to raise global awareness of the Kurdish cause. It encourages and supports diaspora members in becoming active in the political, social, and cultural life of their host countries while also protecting and supporting religious minorities within the diaspora, such as Yezidis and Alevis. Ultimately, the confederation acts as a bridge between the diaspora and the Kurdistan Region, encouraging dialogue and cooperation within the diaspora and with other societies.
