    Although most cities in Iraq record bloody crimes within the same family as a result of minor disputes that may develop into the use of firearms or others, or as a result of a dispute over inheritance, annulment of an engagement or separation between a husband and his wife, and so on, there is no law in the country that protects Women and children from domestic violence. Many [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]as a result of violence, although there are justifications that fall under several names, including honor killings or sudden death and others to escape judicial penalties.
    According to a statement issued by the Iraqi Ministry of Interior last September, the past months witnessed "the treatment of 754 cases of abuse of women, 233 cases of similar abuse of men, and 55 cases of abuse of children, in addition to the return of 62 runaway girls, monitoring and follow-up of 22 runaway children, as well as Rescuing 22 elderly people and four children as a result of violence. The statement added, "Violence is one of the reasons girls fall victim to runaways. Sometimes the reason is money, prosperity, or other real reasons, including the family's inability to properly educate and build a person with a balanced personality, and others."
    In this context, Iraqi activist Enas Al-Azzawi says, "The Iraqi parliament is currently required to open, read and approve the file of domestic violence and its law, especially since violent crimes are rampant in the country. In most cases, the perpetrator of the crime bears all the characteristics of a criminal who does his act after stalking or torturing his victim." ". In her interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, she explained that "the coming period will witness an escalation by Iraqi women activists through unified statements and stands in cooperation with civil society organizations to put pressure on the government and parliament and push the law towards approval and implementation."
    For her part, Suha Al-Dawoodi, a member of the “For Her” organization in the capital, Baghdad, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “Victims of domestic violence are increasing in Iraq, and the matter is not limited to women only, as the recent period witnessed the killing of husbands by their wives in horrible ways. But due to the absence of the Family Protection Law, the perpetrator always exploits the legal loopholes to escape punishment or reduce the sentence.” She points out that "any inaction from the current Iraqi parliament on the domestic violence law file means its involvement in the crimes happening in the country. Therefore, we await this law from the current parliament session."

    On the other hand, Representative Mueen Al-Kazemi indicates that "the Iraqi parliament will face great challenges during the coming period, and seeks to pass broken and fateful laws such as the Oil and Gas Law and the Federal Court Law, in addition to monitoring ministries and government activities in order to achieve common goals and resolve differences between Baghdad and Erbil." (the capital of the Kurdistan region of Iraq), and this does not mean that we do not pay attention to the Family Protection Law. But in fact, we have important laws awaiting the legislative authority."
    In his interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, he confirms that "domestic violence has spread widely in Iraq. We hear of horrific cases that lead to the disintegration of families, and this file needs greater focus by the judicial and security authorities linked to citizens, similar to the community police to educate Iraqis."
    As a result of the pressure exerted by human rights activists, in October 2020, the Iraqi Council of Ministers approved the draft law "Anti-Domestic Violence" and passed it to Parliament. However, the law has not been legislated so far due to its opposition by political parties in Parliament, especially those belonging to religious parties that believe that it is in violation of Islamic law, and that it will lead to family disintegration and resort to the judiciary by wives and children against the head of the family. The most prominent parties opposing the adoption of the law are the Iraqi Islamic Dawa Party and the Iraqi Islamic Virtue Party, which find in the law a contradiction with Islamic principles regarding the upbringing of the wife and children.

    In a statement he published earlier, the leader of the Islamic Virtue Party, Ammar Tohme, explained that "the draft domestic violence law contains dangerous implications for the stability of the Iraqi Muslim family and reproduces Western experiences for their application, and that caring for and protecting children entails separating the minor son or daughter from their parents' residence and transferring them to A shelter center away from the follow-up and care of their parents, and puts them at risk of being dominated by strangers and the dangers of engaging in suspicious relationships with people with moral abnormalities, drug addicts, and people who go to places of vice.” He added, "The law provides for turning any dispute or problem between family members into a matter in court. Will a family whose relationship is based on affection and compassion be stable if it replaces efforts for reconciliation and family reform with complaints and police stations?"

    Iraq still relies on legislative articles within Law 111 of 1969, which allows the husband and father to "discipline the children or the wife by beating as long as it does not exceed the limits of the Sharia." Article 41 of the Penal Code states that “there is no crime if the act of beating occurs in the use of a right established by law.” The law considers this an abuse of the husband's right to discipline his wife, and parents and teachers to discipline minor children. The police usually resort to imposing commitments on the one who caused the harm, whether it is a father, mother, or husband, and suffices to carry out a “reconciliation” between the two parties sometimes, and if the party causing the harm is the father, they oblige the children to return home.
