PANEL: "Confronting Gender-Based Violence in Iraq"

MADRE will release Imposing Gender Apartheid on Iraq: The Legacy of Bush's War, a groundbreaking report on the incidence, causes, and legalization of gender-based violence in Iraq since the US-led invasion. The report documents the use of gender-based violence by Islamists seeking to establish a theocratic state, and by the US in its efforts to appease Islamists and enforce its occupation.
