Zhiar Ali
Ali began his activism in 2017 with Lava Foundation which did not last for a long time, and was hired by Rasan in late 2019; Lava Foundation activities were then carried out in Rasan. After more than a year with Rasan, Ali left the organization and founded Yeksani. Ali's activism focuses on raising awareness of regional LGBT community issues, letting the public know about the community's needs and wants and international actors to encourage action, and normalizing the community in Kurdish society. He emphasizes that LGBT+ living conditions in Kurdistan are poor due to a lack of public awareness.
