Alphabetical index of articles about the Yazidis, and their history and culture.

The Yazidis are a ethnoreligious group,Kurdish Sub-ethnic group found chiefly in northern Iraq. Their religion, Yazidism, blends ancient Mesopotamian beliefs with aspects of Islam and Christianity. Throughout history, the Yazidis have experienced numerous persecutions and discrimination, including genocides committed by the Ottoman Empire and the Islamic State group. Due to these events, many Yazidis have been displaced, and the community continues to face many struggles.[1][2][3]

Most Yazidis still live in northern Iraq, particularly in the Nineveh Governorate, though there are also smaller communities in other countries such as Armenia, Georgia, Syria, and Turkey. There are also some Yazidi diaspora communities in other nations, such as Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. These communities have formed due to the repeated violence and persecution that the Yazidis have faced, forcing many to flee their homes and seek refuge elsewhere.[4][5]
