you guys are only partially right. Yes women in Iraq had more rights then other middle eastern countries...BUT...Still, women in Iraq suffer from honor killings, human rights violations, torture and execution, and political repression.
Girls and women in Iraq are now facing a major learning gap and there has been a sharp decline in adult female literacy in the last 14 years.
"The rights of women in Iraq are going down the drain, along with everything else ... In 1998, Saddam ordered all women secretaries working in government agencies be dismissed. Now there are new laws barring women from work altogether."
Many women feel that once Saddam was removed from power, women's rights will return to Iraq."
