Safe, independent 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.

Purpose & Goals

Three clear actions keep this Kurdish census safe, simple and community-led.

Count Kurds safely everywhere

Collect voluntary check-ins from homelands and diaspora without exposing identities.

Connect local hubs and diaspora

Link councils, cultural centres and organisers so knowledge flows both ways.

Use our own data to protect the future

Share aggregated facts to defend rights, culture and resources with credibility.
