It is known that women in Kurdistan and Iraq are oppressed.
The few rights they do have are very limited and in most cases they are treated as sub-humans.

Killings, suicide, and violence against women are an every day occurrence in this region.
Although a crime of this nature is very new to Kurdistan, this is an indication that such crimes against women are now tolerated.

Doa's killers are still free.


▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

We strongly condemn this barbaric act, and call upon all Human Rights and Womens Rights Organizations, Political Parties, and Activists in Kurdistan and Globally to condemn this crime.

In the 21st century, for such crimes to be carried out in broad daylight is not only a shame on society as whole, but most of all, it is a shame on a government that is unable to protect women from such inhumane and backward practices.

We hold the Kurdistan Regional Government responsible for the lives and protection of women in this region, and we believe that the brutalization and victimization of women must come to an end.

▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

We the undersigned therefore demand:

1- That the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) brings the killers to justice and punishes them.

2- The Kurdistan regional Government (KRG) should set laws against terror, killings and oppression of women, and punish criminals.

3- To avoid this barbaric crime from becoming a norm and a practice in Kurdish society, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) should criminalize stoning to death.
