After Saddam, Iraqi women are used as sex objects (OP)
Violence against women has increased dramatically since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. They have been kidnapped, killed, raped, and even sold to foreign countries for the global prostitution network, the Woman Freedom Organization (WFO), a Baghdad-based NGO, said in a report earlier this month.
"We've studied reports from local NGOs on women's rights in the past three years, including violence, kidnappings, forced prostitution and honor killings," WFO President Senar Mohammad told Reuters. “And the extent to which women have lost their rights in Iraq is shocking."
According to the WFO study, the most worrying trend was the kidnappings of women, many of whom reported being sexually abused or tortured. "Kidnapping and raping women has become so widespread that every woman worries that she may become the next victim. Very few women are seen on the streets. It was not like that before the war, no! Many are frightened to step out of their home,” an unidentified Iraqi woman said.
More than 2,000 Iraqi women have been kidnapped since April 2003, the report said, adding that such incidents were largely unknown during Saddam Hussein’s regime. "Money has become more important than lives, and kidnapping women – easy targets because of their weakness – is a quicker way to get a good ransom," said Mohammad.
Moreover, the study says that several Iraqi women were being sold as sex workers abroad, mainly to the illegal markets in Yemen, Syria, Jordan and the Gulf States. Victims usually discover their fate only after they have been lured outside Iraq by false promises.
"They told my family that I was very beautiful and they were sure I could be a famous model outside Iraq," said one woman who was deceived by traffickers into going to Kuwait. "Because my brothers and father died in 2003, and we needed money desperately, my mother agreed that I should go."
"But I discovered that everything was a lie, and I was forced to have sexual relations with men," she said painfully. "I lost my virginity to a 65-year-old man who bought me at a very high price and who slept with me everyday until I ran away and arranged my return to Iraq."
* Sexual abuses
The report also raised concerns about the conditions of women detainees currently held in prisons run by the U.S. and UK occupation forces, pointing to the Al-Kadhimiya and Abu-Ghraib prisons in particular. "Based on our records and from anonymous information, we estimate that there are more than 250 women in these two prisons alone, who are exposed to different kinds of torture, including sexual abuses,” Mohammad said.
"I was kidnapped and sexually abused," said Surra Abdu, who spent two months in al-Kadhimiya prison. "But after I was released and reported the matter to the police, they interrogated me and hurt me more, saying I was in cahoots with my jailers." Abdu added: "Is that the freedom and security offered to us when Saddam was toppled?"
The Iraqi Interior Ministry denies that women detainees were regularly subject to mistreatment. "We're Muslims, and we know very well how to treat our women prisoners," said top ministry official Ahmed Youssifin.
But the WFO rejects the government‘s assertions, insisting that it has abundant evidence of the abuse of women detainees. "It's very difficult to believe women are being well-treated in Iraqi prisons," he said. "Many times have I seen signs of torture and beatings on their faces after they were released."
Some of the photos that U.S. guards shot at Abu Ghraib show a U.S. military policeman "having sex with an Iraqi woman," according to Maj Gen Taguba, who headed a 2005 investigation into abuses of female detainees at the hands of U.S. guards. The Taguba report also stated that U.S. guards committed other crimes against Iraqi women for their entertainment. "An Iraqi woman in her 70s had been harnessed and ridden like a donkey at Abu Ghraib and another coalition detention center after being arrested last July," the report said.
Lawyers of women prisoners also assert that U.S. guards had been raping women detainees and forcing them to strip naked in front of men. They also said that these crimes were being committed all across Iraq. According to an Iraqi female lawyer, identified as Swadi, a woman prisoner at a U.S. military base in al-Kharkh told her that “she had been raped… several American soldiers had raped her. She had tried to fight them off and they had hurt her arm.”
There is reason to believe that these abuses are still going on. When Swadi tried to visit women detainees at Abu Ghraib recently, U.S. guards refused to let her in. When she complained, they threatened to arrest her.
It is obvious that these abuses are horrible. What is so painful is that the oppression of Iraqi women won’t end soon. It will also have a devastating impact on the way of life of the Iraqi people -- thanks to the U.S./UK invasion.
Why wouldn't you present....? If you think you are right, then you should present your position. Right?
Hello at first we try to explain nicley and what do you do?? you get sarcy and then when we get ticked off you call it rude!??
whatever mate if you dont like it dont dish it simple!
i tried to explain to you on many occasions all you have come out with is sarcastic questions and remarks to offend the suffering of many in the middle east...
you seem to have no care for any race but yours guess your the only one who is human is it!??
i dont agree with what happend on 9/11 but i have tried on numreous occasions to explain that its not as simple as that obviously think why did 9/11 happen!!

Re: After Saddam, Iraqi women are used as sex objects

Sorry if you think this is the case; and my intentions are not to "offend the suffering...", but to highlight the excessive blame that many muslims assign to "the west". I have never claimed that the west has clean hands; nor have I claimed that everything they have done was done in the name of justice. After all, nations act in their own interests to protect those interests. You have asked Malsidabym in another thread why the US/Israel both possess nukes and find it just to prevent "hostile" (note the quote marks) nations from attaining them. It is simply that is 100% contrary to their interests to allow it. Do you really think that the world would be safer if Iran has deployable nuclear weapons? I think you also asked why doesn't the US/Israel give up their nukes, on the condition that no one should have them. Please be honest; do you think that "hostile" countries would stay true to their word? And if they violated their word, the US or Israel would be in a lot of trouble, right? So there is your answer. Someone will always want to be in charge; if one country does not step up, another will.
you seem to have no care for any race but yours guess your the only one who is human is it!??
You are wrong, my friend.
i dont agree with what happend on 9/11 but i have tried on numreous occasions to explain that its not as simple as that obviously think why did 9/11 happen!!
You are right, it is not so simple... And I have thought about why 9/11 happened, and I find NO excuse for such expressions of rage. This doesn't mean that I don't think some people are legitimately frustrated; it is the "system" of ideas/religion they use to express this violent rage that I detest and will never accept.
answer why 9/11 happened and you will answer why so many muslims are turning to violence today!
I have answered this, as much as I think I can, for myself. I just do not find it to be either an excuse for such a style of violence nor a rational answer that "entitles" some muslims to blame everyone else but things within their systems, countries, and reach.
its called they have no otherpath to turn to...
What about changing their countries? Economic boycotts? Economic expansion of their own? Acceptance of the realities and benefits of globalism (whether they like the west or not)? Armed struggle against their own leaders? All require more patience than the "swift revenge of terrorism", but will reap some actual rewards.

How did you manage to pull the race card in this discussion? Race was not mentioned. Unless iraqis are thier own race. Or muslims are thier own race. Calling another member a racist is a very serious accusation and should not be taken lightly.
