WLUML - Women Living Under Muslim Laws
http://www.wluml.org/english/index.shtml

WLUML has received this very useful and important publication, and has added the English and Arabic versions to its website for you to download.

"The Status of Women in Iraq, An Assessment of Iraq’s De Jure and De Facto Compliance with International Legal Standards," was published in July 2005 by the Iraq Legal Development Project of the American Bar Association. It was produced by a team of people, including Kelly Fleck, Sawsan Gharaibeh, Aline Matta and Yasmine Rassem with assistance from many Iraqi legal experts. The opinions expressed in the book are those of the authors.

It is a very welcome publication as it provides, in one volume, a great deal of factual information and background that is still desperately needed by those working on issues relating to women In Iraq.
