The purpose of Mandaean Crisis International is to bring the attention of the international community to the plight of Mandaeans, especially those currently suffering in Iraq. Mandaean Crisis International makes use of the internet as a means of linking individuals, NGOs, and other organizations around the world to form a pressure group for the defense of Mandaean rights worldwide.

For more information on what the Mandaeans are facing everyday, I refer you to a couple of articles on the web written by Professor Bolender.
