    Al-Mawred News/ The finest roses
    Domestic violence cases and the number of cases recorded by the Iraqi authorities have not decreased, but rather have increased and are rising to turn into premeditated “murder crimes” by the perpetrators, and the path of the file in the Iraqi judiciary is usually distorted, “murders” into suicide cases.
    Although the Iraqi Council of Ministers voted on August 4, 2020 on the draft law on protection from domestic violence, the law is still awaiting a vote in the House of Representatives, while there are only 5 “safe havens” for abused women, 3 of which are in the Kurdistan region and two others in Baghdad and Anbar.
    Government statistics indicate that one in five Iraqi women is subjected to physical violence (14% of the women were pregnant at the time).
    According to the World Health Organization, violence against women is defined as “any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, harm or suffering to women, whether physical, sexual or psychological, including threats of such acts.” or coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether this occurs in public or private life.”
    The Iraqi Ministry of Planning had conducted a survey on violence against women in the country, through which we can look at physical violence and its percentage in Iraqi society. It was found that 47.9% beat the wife if she left the house without his permission, and 44.3% beat the wife if she violated orders, and 69.5% prevent the wife from visiting her relatives.
    Observers point out that these official numbers have not been updated since 2012. This means that they have increased significantly than before, in conjunction with the pressures experienced by Iraqi families associated with social isolation measures due to the "Corona" virus.
    Activist Waleeda Al-Sarafi said, "Indicators of domestic violence are rising at a frightening pace. The past period has witnessed heinous crimes that shook Iraqi society, as rape of a woman with special needs, suicide due to domestic violence, murders and strangling wives from their husbands, harassment of minors and other crimes were recorded."
    These attacks prompted the United Nations, the United Nations Population Fund and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), to urge the Iraqi parliament to expedite the issuance of a law against domestic violence.
    The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs in Iraq also signed an agreement with the French Embassy in Iraq and the United Nations Population Fund to rehabilitate a safe haven for women in Baghdad, and to establish three other centers in Basra, Anbar and Nineveh.
    The United Nations Population Fund stated in a statement that the Women's Protection Centers and the Safe Haven for Women and Girls will provide medical, psychosocial and legal support, in addition to "livelihood sessions" to support their reintegration into society or reconciliation with their families.
    But the problem, as described by activist Baida Mahmoud, is "the dangerous shift in the style and form of domestic violence in Iraq, after it has come to be included in murder, as beating and assaults have reduced rates compared to domestic violence leading to murder," indicating that "reducing the number of This phenomenon requires awareness of the necessity of early reporting of cases of violence, consolidation of early response devices, in addition to early detection of family disintegration.”
    It is noteworthy that the draft law against “domestic violence” that Iraqi President Barham Salih sent last year to the Iraqi parliament for legislation is still awaiting passage under the parliament’s dome, and civil organizations and activists’ efforts are working to pressure for approval of the legislation of the law, which is obstructed by religious parties. Under various pretexts, including the "National Approach" bloc of the Virtue Party, which sees the domestic violence law as a dangerous step aimed at dismantling the Iraqi family and causing moral chaos.
