Appeal -To stop violence against Iraqi women ..

Let us work together for justice, equality and the right of life


Despite the relative improvement in the security situation is still the Iraqi people to live in an atmosphere of chaos that unprecedented or other peoples live in its airspace.

Perhaps the most important manifestation of this lawlessness and chaos exacerbated terrorism and lawlessness and the spread of organized crime, which claimed the lives of more than fifty women in Basra alone in the second half of this year, at the hands of the forces of darkness and gangs and criminal motives and pretexts different social, religious and political.

The Iraqi women who are subjected to various forms of discrimination, oppression and exploitation, and to exercise their right of violence on a daily basis and through innovative, today face mass killings because of widespread terrorism against them, and implement the most heinous murders of their right everywhere in broad daylight with impunity ..

The murders of women in the city of Basra but a terrible proof of barbarism and the perpetrators behind them.

Despite the condemnation of these crimes faced by the government and the authorities concerned did not take necessary action about these crimes to put an end to them and to punish the assailants and stand behind it.

We in the Commonwealth of Iraqi women denounce and strongly condemn the killing of women in Basra and other Iraqi cities, and denounce all forms of violation of human rights in Iraq, and we call on international organizations and the Iraqi Government and the relevant authorities to:

1.- send an international commission of the High Commission for Human Rights of the United Nations, and with the participation of international organizations advocate for human rights, truth and help the Iraqi authorities to identify the perpetrators and to work towards the immediate cessation of crimes against Iraqi women.

2. - disclosure of the perpetrators of crimes against women and stand behind them and bring them to justice.
3. - disclosure of the results of investigations and declaration of public opinion.

4. - working for the protection of women's rights and maintenance of personal freedoms guaranteed constitutionally and in accordance with international charters.

5. - to take stringent measures to protect women and the lives of citizens.

6.- serious work to improve the conditions of women and enable them to participate actively in political life and the rebuilding of Iraq.
