Human Rights Education Program in Mosul

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are thrilled to update you on the recent accomplishments of the Jiyan Foundation in Bashiqa, located within the Nineveh Plain. Thanks to your generous support, we have successfully implemented democracy programs and mental health awareness initiatives in this community.

Our collaborative efforts have established human rights education programs in local schools. We utilized various engaging methods, such as artistic activities, seminars, and games, to educate children about their rights. Additionally, we conducted mental health awareness sessions and organized inter-ethnic and inter-religious dialogue programs, fostering coexistence among community members through seminars and open discussions. Over the past three months, over 70 individuals have participated in these activities in Bashiqa.

Bashiqa, situated between Mosul and Sheikhan in the heart of the Nineveh Plain, was once home to the third-largest Yazidi population in Iraq before the Yazidi genocide. However, the region has experienced immense hardship in recent years, including devastation and mass displacement due to ISIL terrorists.

As we continue our journey, we remain committed to driving positive change and creating a brighter future for all. With your continued donations, we can build upon our successes and make an even more significant impact in the days ahead. Thank you once again for your generous support and belief in our mission.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Jiyan Foundation Team

December Report

By Delman Kareem | Press

We celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), a historic global commitment, marked its 75th anniversary on December 10, 2023.

Every year, our team celebrates Human Rights Day with people of different ethnicities and backgrounds in different locations to raise awareness about human rights.

This year, our Human Rights Education Program team organized activities for children in Healing Garden in Chamchamal, Mosul, Erbil, and Kirkuk. 83 children from host community, IDP and refugee camps participated in our educational and fun activities. These activities aim to introduce children's rights to the participants through various drawing and game activities.

Ending violence against women is possible, but only if we act together, now!

The global 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is a key international moment to call for an end to violence against women and girls. It runs from 25th November (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) until 10th December, Human Rights Day.

In support of this campaign, our team joined the international campaign “UNITE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls”. The campaign calls on citizens to show how much they care about ending violence against women and girls by sharing the actions they are taking to create a world free from violence towards women. The campaign this year also asks governments all around the world to disclose the resources they are allocating to the prevention of gender-based violence.

Thank you so much for your support. Without you our work would not be possible.
