Iraq Women’s Rights:
-In 2003 Yanar Mohammed founded the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, to give a voice to women and protect women who are in need
-Iraqi women have enjoyed more freedoms than women in surrounding countries
-However kidnapping, rape and murder of women is on the rise
-Honor Killings=killing of a woman who brought perceived dishonor to her family is also being common
-Mohammad focuses on fighting for equity in wages and for freedoms that women in other nations take for granted: right to not be sold. To not be raped and not be murdered, to not to have to wear a veil
This specific article focused on Yanar Mohammed, a women who tried her best to work on a project that was supposed to help women gain rights. For the women in Iraq, the situation is dire, there is an increase in murder and rape of Iraqi women. The situation is a neutral gray, I believe, as Mohammed wasn't punished extremely and that she felt that there was hope for the women in Iraq.
