Our Purpose and Commitment

Vision

Our Future Aspirations

A cohesive Iraqi society that respects religious and cultural diversity, where everyone lives in peace, justice, and equality, and where the cultural and heritage sites of Zoroastrians are preserved.

History

Historical Context

Zoroastrianism is one of the oldest religions in Iraq, with mentions of Zoroastrians in the Holy Quran in Surah Al-Hajj, verse 17. The representation of Zoroastrians in Iraq was established in response to the need for official representation and community support for Zoroastrians. Since then, it has worked to participate in national and international events, such as UN sessions against discrimination, interfaith dialogue initiatives, and cultural and social activities that enhance diversity and tolerance.

Our Mission

The Representation of the Zoroastrian Religion in Iraq strives to enhance the rights of religious minorities, build bridges of communication among all components of Iraqi society, support dialogue and peaceful coexistence, and represent the voice of Zoroastrians in national and international forums.

Discover Our Heritage

Zoroastrians in Iraq are an authentic part of the country's history, working to protect their heritage sites and raise awareness about their humanitarian and cultural values. We invite you to explore more about our archaeological sites, celebrations, and religious occasions.
