Compte d’auteur

Research in regard to social problems and particularly in regard to women is very rare and if available, it faces many problems due to:
1. Unavailability of a department or a center to support this work financially.
2. Cost of funding this work is too high.
3. Little interest in doing such studies, due to living in a climate of continuous political conflicts.
4. Most people believe that some issues in our community are sensitive and considered as family problems, and will not supply information for public research.

INTRODUCTION

Kurdistan is the geographical area located at the southwest of Asia. Its land today is divided among Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Before 1539, there were no boundaries and Kurdistan was consisting of one piece of land; following this many, many conflicts occurred to occupy this land, especially in the reign of the Medes, the first Kurdish royal kingdom. Among many conflicts and battles that left a great impact on Kurdistan, was the Islam army attacks in which they reached Iran through Kurdistan. After lots of battles and blood shedding, this religion imposed itself and a group of Iranian people considered themselves as its leaders whom were the Safawees. Meanwhile in Turkey, the Othmanees demanded to be called the leaders. Thus many clashes happened between these two groups, which were mostly for power. One of the most famous battles that happened and ended up with most damage to Kurdish people was the "Chalderan Battle" in 1539. In this battle the Othmanees won and the possessions were distributed including the land of Kurdistan. We can say that this was the first division for Kurdistan in the history which ruined (destroyed) Kurdish people totally because most of Kurdistan became the possession of Othmanees who had a tribal structure melted in Islam religion. That is why for a period of more than 360 years of governing, they left no chances for development.

When the Othmanees went out after the 1st World War, according to " Saiks Biko Treaty " for the winners of the War, Kurdistan was divided into 4 parts among Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Since that time Kurdish people has been in a continuous war to remove these boundaries. For this reason fewer opportunities were available to look closely into culture and step forward to more civilized society, and the causes behind existing social problems today are due to the pressures and aggressions from past history.

The following research is focussed on information gathered from a part of that divided land which is South Kurdistan. Since the events of 1991, and during the period of political freedom since then, there has been the greater opportunity to try to study the society. One of these trials is my research in regard to individuals in Kurdish society and one of the unmentioned problems of individuals, which is the circumcision of girls.

Research Problems and Its Importance

1.1 Problems
Research in regard to social problems and particularly in regard to women is very rare and if available, it faces many problems due to:

1. Unavailability of a department or a center to support this work financially.

2. Cost of funding this work is too high.

3. Little interest in doing such studies, due to living in a climate of continuous political conflicts.

4. Most people believe that some issues in our community are sensitive and considered as family problems, and will not supply information for public research.

For these reasons, since the beginning of my work in the years after the uprising (1991), when approaching these issues was a new thing, I faced many problems…
