The New Generation Movement (Kurdish: جووڵانەوەی نەوەی نوێ, romanizedCûłanewey Newey Nwê; Arabic: حراك الجيل الجديد) is a liberal[4] political party in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, founded by Shaswar Abdulwahid in 2017. The party was established to contest the 2018 general election.[5]

The movement positions itself as an alternative to established political groups, advocating for political reform, transparency, and addressing economic and social issues. Its platform includes a focus on anti-corruption, economic liberalization, and social tolerance.[6] The party advocates for women's rights and encourages their participation in both business and education.[7]
