OWFI held the founding event of organizing a Black-Iraqi Women’s gathering on 16th of February, led by Alia Ali (5th from left).
Alia championed running our shelter for Black-Iraqi women in Baghdad successfully for the last 2 years.
It is time for Alia and the Sisters in Iraq to defend their rights to dignity and equality against a highly racist and discriminatory environment.
Civil society, journalists and friends participated in a 2 hour supportive debate which led to the decision of founding Al Hurra (free woman) gathering.
