Assyrian advocacy

Assyrian advocacy refers to efforts aimed at promoting the rights, recognition, and welfare of the Assyrian people, an ethnic group with a rich history in the Middle East, particularly in areas like Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. This advocacy focuses on addressing issues like cultural preservation, political representation, and protection against discrimination and violence. Advocacy groups work to raise awareness, lobby for governmental support, and highlight human rights abuses faced by Assyrians, especially in regions where they are a minority. Their goal is to ensure that Assyrian identity and heritage are respected and upheld in society.
