Iraq: Haifa Zangana - Voice of the Iraqi Woman
18 January 2014, by siawi3Activist and author Haifa Zangana amplifies the voice of unheard Iraqis to the world. In the past year alone, the UN estimates that 8,868 people, including 7,818 civilians, have been killed in violent attacks across the country. “Women have been caught between the destruction of war and the feudalist and sectarian policies promoted by the political class empowered since 2003.” Haifa claimed that the Arab Spring actually began in Iraq: “It is rarely reported that Iraqis have been gathering every Friday since December 2012 in five major provinces in an organically grown non-violent resistance, born immediately after the occupation of Baghdad on April 9, 2003.”
“The enemy … is the rise of sectarian, corrupt political parties enforcing their interpretation of Islam on women.”
