People-powered Kurdish initiative
Count Us Kurds works to build a safe and independent international platform that makes Kurdish communities visible, stronger and connected through a voluntary digital census.

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.

These goals build the trusted infrastructure Kurds need to count ourselves, protect our data and organise globally.
Create a global, secure and voluntary database that shows Kurdish presence everywhere without collecting personal identifiers.
Link associations, cultural centres, researchers, students, entrepreneurs and organisers across borders.
Use facts and statistics to prove our presence, expand culture and education, reinforce civic projects and shape a clear vision for tomorrow.
Prepare for a future Kurdistan Central Bureau of Statistics (KCBS) with international credibility and long-term governance.
