To everyone with a voice that can be heard, and the power to take action for women in Iraq and contribute to this cause: please, let your voices 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, how silently you endure the unbearable, and 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 very little space to simply exist as human beings. We are expected to be mothers, wives, and supporting figures first, before we are ever allowed to be individuals with our own dreams, voices, and private lives.
And now, even the very breath of life could be taken from us.
How much more must women suffer before the world listens to us?
Please, hear our voices. Please, help make our existence visible. Iraqi women continue to vanish behind laws, traditions, and systems that were never built to protect them.
