Released just before International Women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day and the soon-to-be fourth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the report highlights the often overlooked systematic campaign of violence against Iraqi women. It is called &#8220;Promising Democracy, Imposing Theocracy: Gender-Based Violence and the US War on Iraq\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and is published by MADRE, an international women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s human rights organization. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Promising Democracy, Imposing Theocracy,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d carefully documents the use of violence by reactionary fundamentalists against particularly those women who are considered problematic in a theocratic state &#8211; such as professionals, artists and lesbians. The U.S. government, contrary to its own rhetoric, is blamed for failing to protect Iraqi women and even enabling the very militias carrying out the violence against them through its \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Salvador Option\u00e2\u20ac\u009d policies. <\/p>\n<p>Download the report here:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.madre.org\/articles\/me\/iraqreport.pdf\"> http:\/\/www.madre.org\/articles\/me\/iraqreport.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: Yifat Susskind, Communications Director at MADRE Earlier this week, a new report on gender based violence in Iraq was released during the 51st United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
