Kurdish and Yazidi women live mostly on the north of Iraq, Turkey and Iran. Many of them had to immigrate to Europe or overseas. The majority of Kurdish women are Muslims, while Yazidis are not. Due to the difference in their beliefs, Yazidi women are hatred by Muslims. They are blamed to be the worshippers of Devil only because they are different. Although, their religion belongs to the oldest ones and has over 5.000 years history, today the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, (ISIS) pursues Yazidi women and kills men. This nation has been living in Iraq mountains for thousands of years, but today a real threat of their extermination exists. Even outwardly, Yazidi differ from the other Muslims. If Kurdish women have black hair and brown eyes, the eyes of many Yazidi women are blue, and the hair is light. Extremists of ISIS find it the “Devil sign, raping or killing them just “for fun”.
• Traditional life of women
Kurdish and Yazidi women do not cover their faces. Many girls wear trousers, which is very convenient when riding on horseback. Kurdish women wear jewelry made of silver and gold coins. According to the Yezidi doctrine, you should born Yezidi. Yazidis must not ever touch the food left by non-Yezidi. Women should never wear silk dresses and clothing of blue color. In dry days Yezidi women make a doll, dress it up, call it "The Mother of the Rain" and beg her to send rain to their land. As for the Kurdish woman, she has the right to choose her husband. Very often, her choice and the choice of her parents is the same. However, if her father or brother will want to marry her by force, she must not protest. The Kurds consider, it is a terrible shame if the girl refuses to marry a man, her father or brother chose to her. Kurdish and Yazidi women almost never divorce. The Kurds, like other the peoples of the East, divide the society into female and male . At weddings, funerals and other events women and men stay in separate rooms; they eat at different tables, do not mix or communicate. The Kurds are very respectful of other religions and faiths.
