The '''Assyrian Democratic Movement''' ({{langx|aii|ܙܘܥܐ ܕܝܡܘܩܪܛܝܐ ܐܬܘܪܝܐ|Zawʻá Demoqraṭáyá ʼÁṯuráyá}}, {{langx|ar|الحركة الديمقراطية الآشورية}}, '''ADM'''), popularly known as '''Zowaa''' ({{literal translation|the movement}}), is an [[Iraqi-Assyrians|Assyrian]] political party situated in [[Iraq]], and one of the main Assyrian parties within the [[Council of Representatives of Iraq|Iraqi parliament]]. The Assyrian Democratic Movement states its aims are to establish equal citizenship rights with the rest of the [[Iraqis|Iraqi people]] without discrimination on the basis of nationality, belief, religious affiliation, culture, language and other characteristics of the native [[Iraqi-Assyrians|Assyrians of Iraq]], to acknowledge the past massacres committed against them and to ensure they are never repeated again.

With regards to [[Assyrian independence movement|separatism from Iraq]], the Assyrian Democratic Movement maintains that it does not seek the division of Iraq in order to establish an Assyrian state and states in its manifesto:<blockquote>''The national axis in the approach of the Assyrian Democratic Movement has components of the Iraqi people, and to contribute to building the democratic pluralistic federal state and establishing the Iraqi state based on justice, equality and the rights of all components. And the common destiny of our Chaldean Assyrian people with the components of the Iraqi people, national and religious Arabs, Kurds, Turkmen, Armenians, Sabians, Yazidis and Shabaks.''<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.zowaa.org/%d9%86%d8%a8%d8%b0%d8%a9-%d8%b9%d9%86-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%ad%d8%b1%d9%83%d8%a9/|title=نبذة عن الحركة|last=MD|date=2017-10-08|website=zowaa.org|language=ar|access-date=2019-05-01}}</ref></blockquote>
