Millions of Kurds live across the world, both in our homelands and throughout the diaspora, yet there is still no official, collective count of how many we are, where we live or how our communities grow. That gap keeps us invisible in statistics, education, research, media and international decision-making. Count Us Kurds was created to change that — safely, independently and led by the people, so we can tell our own story while respecting privacy and anonymity.

Link councils, cultural centres and organisers so knowledge flows both ways.
Share aggregated facts to defend rights, culture and resources with credibility.
