Diwaniyah Women Participate in Democracy Activities
Iraq Fact of the Day
The Diwaniyah Women's Rights Center, one of the first centers for
democracy and human rights advocates in liberated Iraq, is sponsoring
democracy classes on political parties, the constitution, and human
rights. The Diwaniyah Center exists, not only to foster democracy, but
also to help vulnerable women improve their lives and the lives of
their children. A year ago under Saddam's regime Iraqis would have been
tortured and possibly killed for participating in these types of
activities
