Iraq
An increase in violence, a low level of social security and an overall deterioration of women’s rights. Women’s situation in Iraq has worsened considerably since the US invasion 2003, say Iraqi women rights activist Hanaa Edwat
Since the invasion in 2003 Iraqi women have been brutally attacked, kidnapped and intimidates from participating in the Iraqi society
Women and girls are constantly guilty of bringing shame to the family by immoral behavior.
● Very often the accusations are based in very weak arguments or just rumors.
● If a woman dares to show his body more than allowed, they can be beaten to death
● Women are prohibited from buying vegetables because of their form, like cucumbers, which can only be bought by men
● Establishments such as hair salons and shops sales of cosmetics are a bad reputation
● selling ice cream is forbidden, because at the time there was no prophet.
Honor Crimes
Burka
Mut’aSince the "Islamic Revolution" of 1979, Iran has actively promoted mut’a as an essential practice for society’s sexual health. The mut'a allows a man who wants to have sex with a woman to ‘marry’’ her in the presence of a religious figure who acts as agent mut'a.Man specify how long the marriage will last, which can range from a few hours to several years. In such marriages Iraq offers no protection or guarantee to women.
Widows and divorced women
Women Tortured And Raped In Iraqi Prisons, Human Rights Watch Says
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/06/iraq-illegally-detains-th_n_4735144.html
Many women were detained for months or even years without charge before seeing a judge
In custody, women described being kicked, slapped, hung upside-down and beaten on the soles of their feet, given electric shocks, threatened with sexual assault by security forces during interrogation, and even raped in front of their relatives and children.
If women are released unharmed, they are frequently stigmatized by their family or community, who perceive them to have been dishonored
IRC in IraqThe IRC has provided humanitarian aid in Iraq on and off since 2003 and today assists tens of thousands of women
in 12 provinces.
The IRC launched programs for Iraqi refugees in Jordan in 2007 with informal education projects and mental health
support.
Iraqi women protest against proposed Islamic law in Iraq
http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/08/us-iraq-women-islam-idUSBREA270NR20140308
About two dozen Iraqi women demonstrated on Saturday in Baghdad against a draft law approved by the Iraqi cabinet that would permit the marriage of nine-year-old girls and automatically give child custody to fathers.
"On this day of women, women of Iraq are in mourning," the protesters shouted.
"We believe that this is a crime against humanity," said Hanaa Eduar, a prominent Iraqi human rights activist. "It
would deprive a girl of her right to live a normal childhood."
It describes girls as reaching puberty at nine, making them fit for marriage, makes the father sole guardian of
his children at two and condones a husband's right to insist on sexual intercourse with his wife whenever he
wishes.
Yemen
Arabic country in Western Asia
Women in Yemen have historically had much less power in society than men. Although the government of Yemen has made important efforts that will improve rights of women in Yemen, many cultural and religious norms, has prevented Yemeni women from having equal rights to men.Today, Yemeni women do not hold economic, social or cultural rights. Even more striking is the reality that while suffrage was gained in 1967 and constitutional and legal protection was extended to women during the first years of Yemen until between 1990-1994, they continue to struggle in exercising their full political and civil rights.
Many women in Yemen give administrative rights to mame members because they are not aware of their rights.
No legislation protects women’s freedom to make their own decisions with therefore women are controlled by their family or, if married, by their husband. Yemen is a country where female genital mutilation remains an issue.
Women in Yemen have minimal rights to education, marriage, health care, and they are denied many human basic rights. They are convinced to stay home instead of getting an education or job, and, therefore, they have little to no opportunity to gain their freedom or economic status. Many women do not even have identification cards or voter status. However, even if yemeni women were not convinced to stay at home, their rights are so repressed by the males in their society that there is no way for them to gain their own freedom with their current country laws,
● 48% marriages have brides as young as 8 years old.● Yemeni women are not allowed to marry without permission of their
male guardians. ● Within their marriages, Yemeni women do not have equal rights to
custody, divorce or inheritance, and require a husband or father’s permission to travel or get a passport.
● Women in Yemen also suffer poor health care. Since they are seen as unequal to male, women are denied many health care rights which results in many pregnancy complications.
Women in Yemen
A woman is considered only half a witness. That’s the policy on legal testimony in Yemen, where a woman is not recognized as a full person before the court.” In general, a single woman’s testimony isn’t taken seriously unless it’s backed by a man’s testimony or concerns a place or situation where a man would not be. And women can’t testify at all in cases of adultery, libel, theft or sodomy.Women can’t leave the house without their husbands’ permission.
