9^th April (2-6pm) Conference

   منظمة تضامن المرأة من أجل عراق مستقل موحد تعقد ندوة في لندن بمناسبة الذكرى التاسعة لأحتلال العراق

 

The occupation of Iraq continues not just through the actions of US occupation forces and mercenaries (private security contractor), but also through a number of punitive measures that are used against Iraqis in order to secure compliance with US policy.

 

Iraqi women, like her sisters in occupied Palestine, have to face control measures such as checkpoints and segregation walls on a daily bases. In Baghdad alone there are 1400 checkpoints and 50 areas divided by concrete wall with entry and exit checkpoints where security forces subject women to harassment, humiliation and sexual abuses in addition to depriving them of freedom of movement and access to work, hospitals and colleges. How do Iraqi women survive under such brutal conditions and what can we do to support their struggle?
