Chak "Center of Halabja against Anfalization and Genocide of the Kurds" is a 501 (c) (3), non-profit international organization whose mission is to prevent genocide and human rights abuse of Kurds and minority groups in Middle East. It also works to end genocide in the world by joining and cooperating with international organizations which are working in that field. We in Chak believe that all women and men are created equal and have fundamental rights such as liberty, life, respect and dignity. Government must be a tool for securing and protecting these rights not in opposite. We also believe that a functioning democracy is the most suitable and successful form of government to achieve these rights and prevent any form of genocide. Chak has branches in these countries (Britain, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, North Iraq, Norway, Sweden, and US).
