Iraqi women should think twice before accepting constitution

Article Abstract:

National Organization for Women President Kim Gandy reported that the women of Iraq would lose hard-won rights under the new constitution, and the US would share the blame for trading away women's rights. Conservative Sharia law as the basis for the country's family law system threatens to send Iraqi women back to the Middle Ages and hence Iraqi women should pause consider whether they would vote for it.
