WLUML strongly urges you to join Iraqi women's efforts and take action to oppose the Iraqi Governing Council's (IGC) 'Resolution 137' dated 29 December 2003 that proposes the introduction of Sharia law in personal status matters and to cancel all laws which are incompatible with this decision.
The 1959 Iraqi Law of Personal Status, which is considered one of the most progressive family laws in the Middle East and which was achieved through the struggle of the Iraqi people for much of the past century, will be abolished if Resolution 137 is upheld.
It is important to act immediately: the 'Resolution' will come into effect if it is validated by Paul Bremer, the Chief US Administrator.
WLUML regards 'Resolution 137' as a major retreat from previous rights that were guaranteed to women under Iraqi law.

A new, U.S.-sponsored constitution introduced last year makes Sharia, or Islamic law, a main source for legislation. But there are no laws banning alcohol or forcing women to wear veils as in other Muslim countries. It is unclear whether the new ministers will seek to impose stricter Muslim customs.
Salah Boshi, head of the non-government Human Rights Association, said competing militias were taking advantage of Iraq's security chaos to consolidate their political power and using Islam as an excuse.
“These activities are devastating human rights and will end up destabilizing democracy in Iraq,” he said.
A 33-year-old woman who refused to be named for fear of retribution said she started wearing a veil last week when militants circulated leaflets warning women to wear an “Islamic dress” near her workplace in Amriya, a Sunni area in Baghdad.
“I started wearing a veil a week ago. I did not see the fliers myself. I wear the veil and a long coat to avoid any trouble. When I arrive at work, I take them off.”
In Basra, Iraq's second city, militias have targeted music shops and harassed females students for refusing to cover themselves in the black abaya.
In Baghdad, known under the secular rule of Saddam Hussein for its nightlife and liberal social culture, unconfirmed tales circulate about young men who have been shot for wearing shorts.
Leaflets threatening punishment for such behavior -- and also ordering women not to drive cars -- circulated in Amriya this month. But police deny anyone has been killed as a result.
Whether stories of such killings are true or not, one thing is certain: Fear is driving many alcohol sellers to close and more women are following conservative dress codes.
Said Faris Shamoon, 49, whose beer shop was bombed on Tuesday: “I will shut the shop and leave the country to those who claim they are Islamists. Islam should not hurt others.”

Iraq: US and UK failing to take gay pogrom seriously
Source: The Guardian
Last week, 12 Iraqi police officers burst into a house in Karbala, beat up and blindfolded the six occupants and bundled them off in three vans, taking the computers they found with them. The house was then burned down by unknown people. The house was a new "emergency shelter" run by the Iraqi LGBT organisation. Two days later, one of the men turned up in hospital with a throat wound saying he'd been tortured. Iraqi LGBT has ordered those in its other two safe houses to move immediately.
The group says the police action is consistent with other state attacks on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Iraq. It has information that the other five – two gay men, one lesbian and two transgender people – have been transported 100 miles north to the interior ministry in Baghdad, where they'll be interrogated (ie tortured) to find out more about the group. Then, going on past experience, they'll probably be handed to militias loyal to Shi'a clerics Grand Ayatollah al-Sistani and Muqtada al-Sadr (both of whom have called for homosexuals to be put to death) and their mutilated bodies will turn up later.

You cons are soooo f`n good at willful ignorance.
Willfully ignoring women`s rights in Iraq does NOT make all your neo-con fuckups go away.That only happens in your head.
The women of Iraq must live(and die) with your neo-con fuck-ups every fuck`n day.They can`t play make pretend like you cons.
You guys did help establish Sharia law in Iraq and millions of Iraqis now live(and die) with those consequences.
The least you cons can do is apologize and pledge to do better.No one`s holding their breath.That,would require courage.
The denial shtick is disgusting,especially in threads about women`s rights you cons start yourselves.
The lack of response to your fuckups, speak more about your cowardice than anything else.
