Kurds Migration and Diaspora

    

Here is a picture of the Kurds migration taken from www.google.com. You can click Here to go to the actual website. 

     After reading many articles on these subjects, I could not find too much information, but I feel as though I found enough to get the point across. Every single article that I have read has said that in the past two years Kurdish Diaspora has mobilized. Believe it or not, Diaspora of the Kurds has brought a lot of attention their way.
     Within the past two years, not only has the diaspora been extremely important and gave them a lot of attention, but it has also brought along new identities and problems too. Gender issues are one of the problems that has arisen from this topic. Why? Because people have been looking at the Muslim community as negative, and that's it exactly where the Kurdish people fit in. So therefore, they have also been looked down upon.
    When it comes to migration I read a lot of the forced migration of Kurdish people in Turkey, displacement. The Kurds were forced from their homes and villages in Southeast Turkey by Turkish troops. When the violence broke out and so on, they migrated to cities in West and South Turkey. This was all over wanting a self-government, which obviously was not going to happen.
    These people were treated violently when they really just wanted a lot of the things that other people had, outside their culture, who also lived in Turkey. A lot of stories were made up and passed down during this time period. Some of them were true, others made up and not worth telling. A lot of the time the Kurds relied on their relationships with their families and friends to get through their struggles.
