- Summary:
- Taking part in everyday public life is a challenge for many people in Iraq, but members of ethnic and religious minorities face particular obstacles. This report is based on the findings of original field research, for which over 330 members from 11 minority communities were interviewed. It focuses on the Kurdistan Region; Diyala, Kirkuk and Nineveh in the north; Baghdad, Babil and Basra, given the concentration of minorities in these areas. The report highlights that tensions between Kurds and Arabs over disputed territories in Kirkuk and Nineveh mean that they have become the most dangerous areas in the country in terms of security and freedom to access rights and services, particularly for minorities.
