Discrimination And Violence Against Women In Iraq

Gender equality is firmly held in people’s mind who live in the 21st century, but it is just an average; there are still women who were still discriminated. Iraq is one of the countries where violence against women is common. According to BMC, almost 51% of Iraq women have experienced violence. From that 51%, 53% of them reported emotional abuse, 39% physical violence, and 21% sexual violence. On July 25, the body of a young woman discovered. It was buried on a lost road between Hijab and the Greek village, burning and dumping more than 25 women. According to news reports, most women are newly married or long-term married. Moreover, the husband of most dead women either picnics near Sulaymaniyah or shoots after another man has passed twice. However, there is more to the future.

According to the local police, “A woman is murdered every day. . . but the family has different opinions. Even some families want to report. They often avoid saying because they are afraid of destroying their reputation or Was dragged into the family and not. Frankly, after a while, things started to be healthy for the locals. Today you hear a story, tomorrow is a cruel story, and eventually, everyone stops responding because these stories become the norm. Violence against women is not just about murdering them. All the crime that the man did is about letting women fear men. Women are too afraid to defend themselves, and they are in trouble in their minds. These crimes involve physical and emotional abuse that occurs over time. Even if the police arrested the perpetrators, some police officers would still take action against women. If men got caught, they would not change too much. Many murders were called 'honour killings' and then closed. This woman has sinned since they died. Finally, crime is adding to the image of the murderer as a source of pride and honour, rather than feeling guilty or shameful. Women are people as well, and they should get the same rights as men. Iraq government knows this too, but still, the most nation in Iraq doesn’t respect women well. Muslims doesn't respect women may happen because there are a lot of Muslims. In Muslim’s gospel, it says if men touch women they should wash their hands, and if women don’t feel obedient to men, men can beat them. In 610, when Muslim was created, it was giving preference to women than other religions. However, while other civilisations were trying to improve women rights, Iraq was in Islamic Fundamentalism. It made them miss opportunities for reform and human rights. Because almost 95% of Iraq believes in Muslim, this Islamic fundamentalism must have caused violence against women. This kind of sex discrimination violence is common in Iraq, compared to Australia.

According to ABC news, Australia’s gender equality rank in the world is 35th. Perhaps Australia could be the cultural ideal of Iraq. Although Australia has better gender equality consciousness than Iraq, Australia should learn something from Iraq. Iraq's human rights have crumbled just because of religion. To protect basic well-being, Australia should try not to settle in reality and improve human rights. This kind of sex discrimination violence is common in Iraq, compared to Australia.

Perhaps it was able to do something about welfare because they have economic leeway, but mental stability would also have taken a big part to achieve such economic growth. By accepting the mistakes of past and trying to improve their system, women of Iraq would get back their rights, and it will affect on others who are not guaranteed human rights.
