The Crimean Tatar Resource Center launches a social media storm dedicated to the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. We call on everyone to become a part of this campaign. The International Day of the World’s Indigenous People is celebrated annually on 9 August. There are about 437 million indigenous people living in 90 countries across the world. And in Ukraine, there are 3 indigenous peoples: Crimean Tatars, Karaites, and Krymchaks.
We have to realize that our wealth is in diversity, but unfortunately, for the ninth year in a row, indigenous peoples have been living in conditions of war. Moreover, the indigenous peoples’ homeland, Crimea, is being used by Russia as a springboard for military equipment and bombing of Ukraine.
Now, at such a difficult time for the whole of Ukraine, it is crucial to continue the struggle together. The Ukrainian, Crimean Tatar, Karaite and Krymchak peoples have one goal – to live in a free, united and independent Ukraine and to do everything together for the victory of Ukraine!
Join the storm “Indigenous Peoples Matter for Ukraine”, share the poster and don’t forget to use the hashtag #LIBERATECRIMEA to make our voices heard! To join the CTRC storm, follow the link to our social media pages:
