About
Yazidi House is a volunteer-run organization established in Coffs Harbour, Australia, aiming to support and preserve the cultural identity of the Yazidi community. Founded approximately eight months ago, it serves as a cultural hub for Yazidis in the region.
The Yazidi community in Australia has experienced significant growth since 2014, primarily due to humanitarian efforts following the persecution of Yazidis in Iraq and Syria. Many have resettled in regional areas, including Coffs Harbour, Toowoomba, and Armidale. Toowoomba, in particular, is noted for having the largest Yazidi population in Australia, with their Kurdish dialect being the city's second-most spoken language.
Organizations like Yazda Australia play a crucial role in advocating for the Yazidi population, offering support and representation to ensure the community's needs are met and their cultural heritage is preserved.
We believe all comunities can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
