It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Mahabad Qaradaghi; a poet, author, and activist. Mrs. Mahabad Qaradaghi served the Kurdish literature immensely. She was an ardent champion of women’s rights and an important part of the struggle of women in Kurdistan for gender equality. We highly value her works and activism.

I offer my deep sympathy and condolences to Mrs. Qaradaghi’s family, friends, colleagues, intellectuals, and all women in Kurdistan. May His Almighty God grant comfort and patience to all and may she rest in peace.
