Kurdish women and children carrying tree branches to their homes for cooking and fire place.

This Kurdish woman is milking her goats before returning them to her village. Kurdish women work side by side with men. They are hard working, real free, and open in their society. When they go to farms or take care of their life stocks, they wear Kurdish men's baggy pants to give them more comfort and flexibility. It is another way to show their hard work and equality with men.

Newroz

Newroz is considered the most important festival in Kurdish culture, and is a time for entertainment such as games, dancing, family gathering, preparation of special foods and the reading of poetry . The celebration of Newroz has its local peculiarities in different regions of Kurdistan On the eve of Newroz, in southern and eastern Kurdistan, bonfires are lit. These fires symbolize the passing of the dark season, winter, and the arrival of spring, the season of light. . It is celebrated at the time of the first day of spring (March 21). new clothes are worn . Families spend the day in the country, enjoying nature and the

fresh growth of spring .

The famous Kurdish writer and poet Piramerd (1867–1950) writes :in his 1948 poem NewrozThe New Year's day is today. Newroz is back.

An ancient Kurdish festival, with joy and verdure.

For many years, the flower of our hopes was

downtrodden

The fresh rose of spring was the blood of the youth

It was that red color on the high horizon of Kurd

Which was carrying the happy tidings of dawn to

remote and near nations

It was Newroz which imbued the hearts with such a fire

That made the youth receive death with devoted love

Hooray! The sun is shining from the high mountains of homeland

It is the blood of our martyrs which the horizon reflects

It has never happened in the history of any nation

To have the breasts of girls as shields against bullets

Nay. It is not worth crying and mourning for the martyrs of homeland

They die not. They live on in the heart of the nation.
