Unity is almost a non-existent phenomenon in Iraq for quite a long time now. The bygone days are no longer making a come back that’s what most of the Iraqi women has to say.
Trying to rediscover a nation full of happiness, women in Iraq is practicing quite a stylish measure of conveying their disappointment at the disharmonious life.
Iraqi women’s pendant revolution:
From well-known faces at the media, for instance, anchors for the Iraqi TV stations are sporting necklaces with pendants that have the shape of the nation ‘Iraq’. This is not just a sentiment upheld by the women in the media groups; women all across the nation are sporting the pendants as a symbol for unity and solidarity.
This map shaped pendant is on heavy demand now. The venture started long back after the Saddam Hussein’s Empire was overthrown in the year 2003, however, it came to limelight post the US backed invasions shook the entire nation.
Another reason for sporting this pendant is to pay tribute to 30-year-old reporter, Atwar Bahjat, who lost her life on February 22, 2006 when she was reporting live from Shia shrine in Samarra.
