DEADLINE EXTENDED
Support Women's Rights in Iraq
On August 22nd, Iraq’s Constitutional Committee is due to submit its draft Constitution to the Iraqi National Assembly. Many Iraqi women’s groups fear that the Constitution may give more power to Islamic law to decide many issues that are critical to women such as freedom of movement and travel, property inheritance, or child custody. In some cases, certain interpretations of Islamic law could subject women to forced early marriage, polygamy, compulsory religious dress, domestic violence, or more rarely, execution by stoning as punishment for adultery. Once in place, the new Constitution will have a resounding and long-lasting influence on Iraq’s future.
Show your support for women in Iraq by joining this campaign. To support this effort Oxygen will be donating money to Women for Women International for every person who signs up for this campaign by August 22nd. Please act now as time is running out on women’s rights in Iraq.
