Life for Iraqi women is deteriorating day by day with the incessant pressure forced down their throat by the radical Islamist parties of Iraq.
Already, they are suffering too much under the age-old hierarchy of patriarchal society, but now with the latest proposal undertaken by the Iraqi Islamist Party to create a new law to torture the Iraqi women, a major revolution is coming up to fight the conservatives.
Hailing the celebration of International Women’s Day, a major protest was thrown off by the Iraqi women right at the doorstep of Iraq’s Embassy. This latest move was a warning against the new Sharia law to be developed by the Islamic groups.
According to this law, any women who is found having sex outside marriage will be be-headed. The law is also targeting the gay community as well.
Women of Iraq are not the lone protestors: members of Iraq’s Worker Communist Party, British Humanists, and queer rights group OutRage are backing them in this latest endeavor to overthrow patriarchy from Iraq.

I am 17 and gay!!!! faceit, the cruel reality is i here and am not goin to live, kill me!...”17 year old killed for stand up for what he believes”..... being gay is not a an option...sometimes is wether you where born like that or something turn you, but beheading some one for the fact of being who they are is a unhuman act of descrimination and racism. Being gay does not change anything, lets sayyou had a friend and you know him for a very long time, you guys always hangput togetehr, eat together, you guys are liek brothers, one they he confesses you the aughful truth, ”Am Gay!” would you still kill him, i mean all this time you been really good friends why is something liek that going to stop the friendship. Better yet, ask your self this question, what good would any of this do?...if you kill some in your country theres still goin to be more then amillion on a diffrent contry and not only dat but soon more to come in to your country. We are not just a thing you van get rid of, we are human being, like you, we have feelings, compassion, anger, hate, love, repesct, we eat, we drink, we die, we are the same!...so egt your act togeher cause we are here to stay!!!!
