Halabja
Memorial Trail

The Halabja Memorial Trail celebrates the city’s strength and culture, sharing stories of local heroes and important moments, inviting visitors to connect with its heritage and history.

We as NWE, a non-governmental organization, are devoted to promoting gender equality, empowering women, and improving environmental well-being through sustainable projects. We are also deeply dedicated to the environment, emphasizing its commitment to protecting and improving the natural world as a valuable asset in the country.

Furthermore, the organization recognizes the importance of preserving, honouring, and transmitting the cultural and historical character of our communities. This is crucial to ensure that the lessons from the past continue to echo in the present, guiding us into the future. Both these goals can be met through hiking and memorial trails while these trails also play a role in fostering personal growth, community engagement, and a profound appreciation for the world that surrounds us.

Lets Walk The Path Together

In the heart of Halabja unfolds the Halabja Memorial Trail, a project carefully designed to celebrate the resilience, culture, and untold stories of the community. This project is being carried out in cooperation between the local organisation NWE, the municipality of Halabja and the international organisation Wadi. The trail navigates through the urban landscape, showcasing the diverse beauty of Halabja. The starting point of the trail is the Halabja Monument. From there, it leads into the city centre and the surrounding neighbourhoods. However, you can join the trail from anywhere and the different locations do not have to be visited in order. Informative boards tell stories of local heroes, cultural milestones, and events that shape the city’s identity. As you walk the trail, you can take your time to look at pictures, read information, and feel a connection to the past. Educational elements highlight the rich heritage and artistic expressions of Halabja, fostering a deeper understanding. The trail is not just about the past; it’s also meant to teach and inspire, making sure that the stories it tells stay important for everyone who visits.tant for everyone who visits.
