Iraq
Women in Iraq.
Women were treated better during the dictatorship. Within the Arab world, they were seen as the women with the most rights. They could go to school, have a job, and travel in relative safety. After the U.S invasion in 2003, this all changed. People were happy with the new freedoms that surfaced under democracy, but felt oppressed by the violence and worsening conditions for women.Click here to hear from women living in Iraq.
