Juliana Taimoorazy

[10] Taimoorazy fondly describes her life before the Islamic Revolution in Iran as one that granted religious and cultural freedom to Assyrians.

"[11] Believing that their daughter had no future in a country that would discriminate against her for being an Assyrian, a Christian, and a woman, Taimoorazy's parents ultimately made the decision to smuggle her out of Iran at the age of 17.

[11] In order to avoid ridicule for fleeing the country, her parents began selling their belongings under the guise of financing the construction of a new house outside of Tehran.

They were actually raising money to transport Taimoorazy out of the country, which included the cost of paying smugglers, and a hotel to live in for six months while the smuggling was organized.

[10] Taimoorazy was inspired to start the Iraqi Christian Relief Council (ICRC) in 2007 after being told by then-Cardinal Francis George of Chicago that it was her calling to do so.

[22][23] Taimoorazy has also condemned the government of Turkey for refusing to investigate the disappearances of Assyrian couple Hurmiz and Shimoni Diril.

Taimoorazy has also supports the passage of House Resolution 537, which would have the United States officially recognize the Assyrian genocide if passed.

[26] In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Taimoorazy signed a joint letter along with representatives from 27 other Non-governmental organizations calling on Iraqi authorities and the United Nations to implement measures aimed at preventing a humanitarian and security catastrophe in Sinjar, Tel Afar, and the Nineveh Plain.
