To everyone with a voice that can be heard, and to everyone with the power to act for the women of Iraq and help bring about change: please, let my voice reach women’s rights organizations. Imagine being born into a life that feels like a prison. Imagine being taught that your entire existence must revolve around a husband and a child—that your worth is defined by how well you please them, by your silence in enduring the unbearable, and by how much of yourself you are willing to sacrifice. Then, the very child to whom you dedicated your life might be torn away from you. In my country, women are granted only a very narrow space to live as human beings. We are expected to be mothers, wives, and caregivers before we are ever allowed to be individuals with our own dreams, choices, voices, and private lives. And now, even motherhood itself can be taken from us. How much more must women lose before the world listens to us? Please, hear our voices. Please, help make our existence visible. And please, do not let Iraqi women continue to disappear behind laws, traditions, and systems that were never built to protect them.
