Its a Kurdish Clothes Day!

Published March 11th, 2021 - 08:26 GMT

March 10th is traditional Kurdish Clothes Day, and is celebrated by millions of Kurds, men and women, young and old, in Kurdistan and around the world. 

In the city of Qamishli, Kurds wore traditional attire at a ceremony marking the day.

Kurdish Clothing Day was also celebrated in northeastern Syria (Rojava). In the city of Qamishli, Kurds wore traditional attire at a ceremony marking the day.

Kurdish traditional clothing is an ongoing part of Kurdish heritage. The traditional Kurdish dresses for men, are for everyday wear and are not reserved only for holidays. The traditional Kurdish women's outfit includes either a vest or long-sleeved jacket or long overcoat worn over a gown. 

The goal on this day is to counter the marginalization of Kurdish clothing and to introduce it to society and the world
