Kurdish Human Rights Project is pleased to announce the launch of its brand new website. The revamped website provides a more dynamic user experience, boasting simpler navigation and a bolder, more colourful design.
Available at the usual address (http://www.khrp.org/), the website improves upon and extends KHRP’s free publication download service, which will soon be updated to include publications from KHRP’s early years previously unavailable in electronic form. Purchase of hard copies of our publications has also been made easier with the addition of a secure online bookshop.
Future plans for the website include the full integration of a wealth of research material KHRP has amassed over its 15 years of operations into an online searchable catalogue. Once completed, this Feeney Centre for Research and Dialogue, named after KHRP’s late co-founder Michael Feeney, will be an invaluable source of information for all those working in the field of human rights.
KHRP would also like to announce the publication of the 39th issue of the Newsline newsletter. Reporting on the summer/ early autumn period, Newsline 39 provides full updates on all of KHRP’s fact-finding, trial observation, training and litigation activities across the regions. It can be downloaded free of charge from the KHRP homepage. First time visitors to our new site will need to register before they can avail of our free download service.
Finally, KHRP’s extensive European Parliament- commissioned report on the alleged increase in suicide amongst women in the Kurdish regions has been published by the European Parliament. The report is accessible through our website at http://www.khrp.org/content/view/327/2/. Based on a combination of desk research and fact-finding missions to the regions, it gives a snapshot of the situation of women in the Kurdish regions and discusses the possible reasons for the comparatively high female suicide rate there, linking this to conflict, widowhood, education, health and patriarchal society.
