UPDATE: Iraq: Protect Iraqi women's rights in the new Iraq Constitution

Update on: 
Iraq: Protect Iraqi women's rights in the new Iraq Constitution
WLUML urges you to continue writing to the Iraqi authorities, insisting they listen to Iraqi women's demands for a constitution that secures the rights and liberties of all Iraqi people and especially of Iraqi women.
WLUML has learned that Iraq's parliament has agreed to extend the deadline for finalising the country's draft constitution after delegates failed to reach agreement. MPs agreed to give the committee until 22 August to resolve the disputes.

Efforts to forge Iraq's new constitution have re-started on the 16th of August a day after a last-minute extension to the deadline was agreed by parliament.

This is now very urgent, PLEASE ACT BEFORE THE 22 AUGUST DEADLINE.
