Kurdish writers

Kurdish writers are authors, poets, and playwrights who create literature reflecting the history, culture, language, and struggles of the Kurdish people—an ethnic group mainly spread across Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. They use literature to preserve their language, express identity, and share stories about their heritage and aspirations for autonomy. These writers often navigate political challenges and censorship, using their work to promote Kurdish culture and raise awareness. Their contributions are vital in maintaining cultural resilience and fostering a sense of community among Kurds worldwide.
