Organization of Women's Freedom In Iraq, INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 8MAR13

THE war on women in the US has intensified over the past decade mostly due to the perversion of Christianity by right wing social engineers. The assaults on women's rights, freedoms, and equality must be fought and defeated. Compared to the majority of First World nations American women have a long way to go, but there are too many countries where women have to fight every day for their lives. Here is a report on the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq almost 10 years after
the US invasion of Iraq,

Iraqi Women are fighting for their country's future

On this International Women's Day, we highlight the work of the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq (OWFI). We are presently collaborating with OWFI to raise awareness about the effects of more than a decade of war on and in Iraq by the United States. Together with OWFI on March 19th, the tenth anniversary of the US invasion, we will be taking joint action in Washington, DC to hold the US government accountable for our collective Right to Heal and rebuild. (Stay tuned for more on this action. . .)

Through its grassroots organizing, its radio show, and its newsletter, OWFI has been working:

against the corruption and sectarianism of the U.S.-installed government;
to care for those whose health has been negatively affected by the war's environmental damage;
against Islamic fundamentalism and tribal patriarchal practices;
to protect women and girls from violence and sex trafficking;
for the tens of thousands of children orphaned by war;
and to free thousands of political prisoners being held by the Iraqi government without charges.

We are honored to work with OWFI and learn from their movement.

You can support OWFI with a donation and by liking OWFI's Facebook page.
