                     3 December
In Iraq:
many children are born with birth defects such as
Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida and Congenital
Malformation due to environmental causes.
In addition, uncounted number of children have
suffered from injuries caused by the war and
terrorism. Because of the environment and war
situation in Iraq, there are no services to help these
children with their disabilities.

Children with Disability DO NOT attend schools,

Universal Children's Day
20 November

While the world celebrates the International Day for
the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we have
to remember the violence against Iraqi women.
In one of the most secular country in the Arab world,
where women were until recently a visible and
integrated part of public life, females have all but
disappeared immediately after the invasion and
occupation of Iraq.
Women and girls in Iraq live in fear of violence.
