Act Together: Women's Action for Iraq
We are a group of UK-based
Iraqi and non-Iraqi women. We formed in 2000 to campaign against
the economic sanctions on Iraq and, since late 2001, also campaigned
against the US/US invasion of Iraq. Now our focus is on the occupation
and the support of independent grassroots women’s initiatives
in Iraq.

An appeal, May
2008:
SARWA ABDUL WAHAB AL DARWISH
Sarwa Abdul Wahab Al Darwish was
a 36 year-old Iraqi journalist from Mosul. On May 4th,
Sarwa was in a taxi returning from the market with her
mother. The car was stopped and she was dragged out by
two men who attempted to kidnap her. Sarwa screamed and
struggled against her would-be abductors. So they shot
her twice in the head and drove away. Read
the full appeal here.

Act Together: Women’s Action
for Iraq invites you to join us in marking International
Women’s Day 2008.
In the context of the ongoing occupation
and escalating violence against women in Iraq, Act Together
organized an event to share experiences and stories
about
and by
Iraqi women. Presented were photos and narratives by a
group of 8 Iraqi women – and a six year old child – who
participated in a unique creative event in the spring of
2007. Using digital photography, the women set out at considerable
risk to make deeply personal and emotional photo stories
of their lives in Iraq, now.
The event was sponsored by the Centre
for Gender Studies, SOAS.
Recent reports
about women in Iraq:
April 2006: Iraqi
Women Under Siege: A Report by CODEPINK
and Global Exchange shows that from 1958 to the 1990s,
Iraq provided more rights and freedoms for women and girls than
most of its neighbors. Though Saddam Hussein's dictatorial government
and 12 years of severe sanctions reduced these opportunities, Iraqi
women were active in all aspects of their society. After the occupation,
with the exception of women in Iraqi Kurdistan, women's daily lives
have been reduced to a mere struggle for survival.
February 2005:
Iraq:
Decades of suffering, Now women deserve better, a
report by
Amnesty
International, shows that Iraqi
women continue to live with violence & fear. Women have been
targeted and abused by US-led forces and insurgents, many are
forced to stay at home, and they struggle economically. Female
Genital Mutilation, honour crimes and domestic violence have been
on the increase in the context of general violence and lawlessness.

Iraqi Women: Untold Stories
from 1948 to the Present
by Nadje Sadig Al-Ali (founder member
of Act Together)
Zed Books, 2007 The war in Iraq has put the condition
of Iraqi women firmly on the global agenda. For years,
their lives
have been
framed by state oppression, economic sanctions and
three wars. Now they must play a seminal role in reshaping
their country’s future for the twenty-first century.
Nadje Al-Ali challenges the myths
and misconceptions which have dominated debates about Iraqi
women, bringing a much needed
gender perspective to bear on the central political issue of
our time. She traces the political history of Iraq from post-colonial
independence, to the emergence of a women’s movement
in the 1950s and Saddam Hussein’s early policy of state
feminism. The book also discusses the increases in social conservatism,
domestic violence and prostitution, and shows that, far from
being passive victims, Iraqi women have been, and continue
to be, key political actors. Following the invasion and occupation,
al-Ali analyses the impact of Islam on women’s lives
and argues that US-led calls for liberation may in the long
term serve to oppress the women of Iraq further.
