Here's a an Iraqi feminist groupwhich is based primarily in the Anglo-diaspora. The sisters and their brothers, to my knowledge, have been involved in setting up women's shelters, defending Iraqi secularism and women's liberties, defending refugee rights, and opposing the wars, sanctions, and other imperial aggressions.

They are making particular appeals right now. Please follow the links and send support however possible. Please also draw attention to the impact the war has caused on Iraqi women, being victims of both the US and the Islamic resistance. Perhaps other babblers could add to the list of other feminist organizations in Iraq and the region, including especially, ways of helping and supporting them.

It seems as though Syria and Iran are next on the US's hit list, and it would be very worthwhile for pro-feminists to make links with Iranian, Syrian and Kurdish women's groups before the war goes further.
