FYF Participates in U.S. State Department International Religious Freedom Annual Report Launch
FYF had the honor of participating in the U.S. State Department’s International Religious Freedom annual report launch, led by the State Department’s International Religious Freedom office. The event saw the gathering of several religious minority representatives, including our Executive Director, Pari Ibrahim.
During the event, Secretary Blinken and Pari Ibrahim engaged in a meaningful dialogue on justice and accountability concerns, particularly in light of UNITAD’s closure. Secretary Blinken highlighted his awareness of the Yezidi community’s plight and reiterated the U.S. Government’s commitment to supporting Yezidis.
Pari expressed the Yezidi community’s profound appreciation for the continuous support from the U.S. Government, not only during the dire times of 2014 but also in the subsequent years, aiding the community’s recovery after the genocide.
FYF extends its gratitude to the U.S. State Department and other U.S. Government offices that have played a pivotal role in supporting the Yezidi community over the last decade. Your unwavering support is invaluable as we strive for justice and a brighter future for all Yezidis.
