Hanaa Edwar, who heads the Al-Amal Association which fights for the
socio-economic improvement of Iraqis, points out that among the poor –
which, since the invasion, has spiraled, children as young as ten are
already marrying and further, that most of the religious “illiterate
people hear it’s based on Ja’fari (law) and think it must be good.”
Yanar Mohammed, President of the Organization for Women’s Freedom in Iraq, is convinced
that “Iraqi people will not agree to the legalization of pedophilia …
the objections come from all sides, and the number of women who raise
their voices is high … It is an abuse of children’s rights and their
bodily integrity.”
Edwar and Mohammed are lobbying in and out of the parliament, but “pressure from outside Iraq is essential.”
