In observing the United Nations International Women's day, March 8, we will focus in the few coming weeks on the status of women around the world, including the US.
Here is a disturbing news published this morning by Reuters News Agency:
""The abuses of women we documented are in many ways at the heart of the current crisis inIraq," said HRW's deputy Middle East and North Africa director Joe Stork in a statement accompanying the report, titled: "'No One Is Safe': Abuses of Women in Iraq's Criminal Justice System."

"These abuses have caused a deep-seated anger and lack of trust between Iraq's diverse communities and security forces, and all Iraqis are paying the price."
A spokesman for Iraq's Human Rights Ministry said the testimonies in the HRW report were "over-exaggerated", but acknowledged that "we have some limited illegal behaviours which were practised by security forces against women prisoners", which it said had been identified by the ministry's own teams."
