Alevi Rights

Alevi rights refer to the recognition and protection of the cultural, religious, and social rights of the Alevi community, a religious minority primarily found in Turkey and parts of the Middle East. They seek equal treatment under the law, freedom to worship, and support for their unique beliefs and practices, which differ from Sunni Islam. Key issues include access to religious spaces, education that respects their faith, and representation in political and social spheres. Advocates aim for greater understanding and acceptance, striving for a society that honors diversity and promotes coexistence among different belief systems.
