Promising Democracy, Imposing Theocracy: Gender-Based Violence and the US War on Iraq
Houzan Mahmoud of the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq talks about the new report which documents the systematic use of violence committed by Islamist militias against Iraqi women. Methods of violence include widespread honor killings, torture, assassination and rape.
“Promising Democracy, Imposing Theocracy: Gender-Based Violence and the US War on Iraq." That's the title of the ground breaking report being released today at the UN.
The announcement follows on the heels of two high-profile cases of Sunni women allegedly raped by Shiite security forces last month.
