Head of Humanitarian Cases Office: Ezdina seminar helped introduce the attendees to religion and culture that has been marginalized for years

"The seminar added a beautiful touch to the culture of the peoples of the region, introducing attendees to religion and culture that has been marginalized for years," said Amira Al-Hassan, head of the Humanitarian Cases Office at the Raqqa Civil Council.

Last Saturday, Ezdina Organization held a seminar entitled "I am a Yazidi, I invite you to get to know me" in the city of Raqqa, as part of a series of seminars and dialogue sessions held by the organization in northeastern Syria, with the aim of increasing the awareness of the local community of Yazidi identity and promoting rapprochement between the religious and national components.

Al-Hassan added that the terrorist organization" ISIS " tried to harm the people of this religion and its culture and Customs.

Al-Hassan explained that every free woman in the city was feeling a pinch in her heart when she saw a Yazidi woman being beaten and sold in a market that was revived by ISIS during its control of the area.

It is worth mentioning that the seminar held by Ezdina Organization in Raqqa is the Fourth of its kind in the region, where about 80 people participated in the seminar, including representatives of organizations, initiatives, activists, media activists, members of civil society institutions, social figures and representatives of some human rights organizations in the city of Raqqa.


Ezdina Organization has held three seminars to introduce Yazidis previously under the title "I am a Yazidi, I invite you to get to know me"; two were via the "Zoom" program, on the 8th and 19th of September, and the third one was in the city of Hasakah on the 30th of September.
