Welcome to Evin
This is your digital home for meetings, exchanges and connections.
Here, Kurds from the diaspora meet to talk to each other, get to know each other and share a piece of their identity - whether in everyday life, in love or in remembering our roots.
Evin is more than just a chat site:
It is a space for trust, closeness and Kurdish solidarity - modern in design, culturally anchored.

About Us
Our Mission
Our roots
Evîn grew out of a deep connection to Kurdish history and the decades-long resistance struggle. Our families have fought for freedom, democracy, and the right to cultural self-determination for generations. This strength and perseverance flow into every line of our platform – because Evîn aims to be not only a place of exchange, but also a living example of lived Kurdish identity.
Private chats
Sometimes you need a confidential space just for two – that’s exactly what our private chat rooms are for.
One-on-one conversations
Whether you want to thank someone personally, discuss a sensitive topic, or simply seek peace and quiet from annoying glances: In your private chat room, you are only with the person you have chosen.
Data protection and discretion
All messages are end-to-end encrypted. Only you and your conversation partner can read the content—not even moderators have access.
Easy entry
In every public profile, you'll find a "Chat Privately" button. With one click, you can send an invitation to a private conversation—without any additional registration effort.
Flexibility & Comfort
Your private chats are saved permanently, so you can return to a previous conversation at any time. If you want to delete your chat history, simply click "Delete History" in the chat settings.
