For the first time Kurdish ethnicity will be included in the 2021 census in the United Kingdom. We speak with the Director of Kurdish Cultural Centre in the Uk, Miran Hassan, who has worked to make the case for the inclusion of the Kurdish ethnicity in the upcoming census.


Miran Hassan arrived in the UK in 1999 as a child asylum seeker from Iraqi Kurdistan. He has worked in public affairs and political strategy for many clients including embassies, regulators and community organisations, as a senior UK parliamentary staffer and currently serves as the Director of the Kurdish Cultural Centre in London.
