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

14. This Kurdish woman is milkingher 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.

15. Newroz

16. 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.

writes:inhis1948poemNewroz
The 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

18. 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.

the past and expects the future of our nation.
