About Us
After three decades of ruling under a dictator who
viscously took away lives with no respect to human
dignity and wars that seems endless, the Iraqi
people are struggling and running out of patience.
We are a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization founded
in the year 2007, dedicated to helping and fighting
for Iraqi people and their civil rights. Our mission
is to focus on helping Iraqis all over the world by
aiding them in their needs and strengthening their
lives.
The Goals of
the Network
For the Iraqis living in their homeland country of
Iraq, we will assist them in all their needs and
hardships. This can be done in various ways. Here
are a few objectives:
-
Provide appropriate
living conditions for all Iraqis in Iraq.
-
Help all innocent
victims of war and crime through various projects
arranged by the Iraqi Human Rights Network.
-
Provide medical help
to young children who have no access to medical
treatment and others who have life threatening
diseases so that they can be treated.
-
Assist young orphans
who have lost their childhood in the shadow of wars
by helping them establish new lives and beginnings.
For the Iraqi immigrants living in the United
States and in other immigrant countries, we will
help them adjust to their countries of immigration
and establish connections between their homeland and
their country of immigration. Here are some of the
main objectives:
-
Assist all new Iraqi immigrants to the U.S and other
countries by helping them physically and
psychologically establish new homes in their
countries of immigration.
-
Activate the interconnections and relationships
between Iraqi people and their countries of
immigration.
-
Facilitate the integration and participation of
Iraqi immigrants in American society. At the same
time, the Iraqi Human Rights Network will work to
prevent Iraqi immigrants from disintegration in
their countries of immigration.
-
Provide appropriate conditions for Iraqis to live
in, in their countries of immigration.
-
Resist the disappearance of the sense of belonging
to their native country of Iraq, especially among
Iraqis in the U.S by organizing language, cultural,
social, and sport activities to revive their sense
of belonging to their country of origin.
-
Provide appropriate conditions for Iraqi
intellectuals to perform their educational and
cultural roles for the benefit of Iraqi immigrants.
-
Sponsor and protect the intellectual production of
Iraqi individuals in small isolated Iraqi
communities by providing them with assistance.
-
Honor Iraqi immigrants
for their outstanding accomplishments through
special ceremonies.
A Message
from the Founder
As an Iraqi myself, I know that there are many
obstacles facing Iraqis all over the world. In the
United States and all over the world, Iraqi
immigrants are struggling to assimilate to their new
lives or environments. In Iraq, people are living in
poverty and there are many huge crises not given the
attention that they deserve. I am constantly
contacted by local Iraqis asking for my help as a
founder of a civil rights organization. Our
organization has participated in various rallies and
continues to do its best to help Iraqis by standing
up for them and speaking out for their rights. Those
living in Iraq should not be dehumanized, forced to
live in disease, drink unclean water and live in
hardship. And others living outside of Iraq should
not be facing pressure to build new lives and
identities. We believe this organization is the
right organization to undertake such responsibility
because we know and understand the difficult
circumstances that Iraqis are undergoing everyday
all over the world and we are committed to helping
them through their struggles. But this can't be done
alone, we need generous donations and support from
all that are able to help. Please keep in mind that
donations to the Iraqi Human Rights Network will be
used to their fullest extent to help the great
people of Iraq and all of the Iraqis who have
witnessed more destruction than their share. This
non-profit organization is an independent
institution defending the rights of all Iraqis:
Arabs, Kurds, Turkmen, Muslims, Christians and Jews
living all over the world. We look forward to a
democratic, stable, unified, peaceful, free, and
independent Iraq that respects human dignity and
fights for civilian rights.
Sincerely,
Said Al-Waely
Founder of Iraqi Human Rights
