this is according to our court not to list then twenty five percent you know eighty three the top ten of women in parliament from the whole three hundred twenty nine seats so this is one of the things that a new course of the parliamentarian would life would be started but this is it needs a wire meant. the political. depends on the coalitions of the blokes. you know the women or so we are looking for women participation more than before on the political issues on the change in the country and especially on the political reform now you've been a strong advocate for a wider women's participation you contributed a lot to ensuring those parliamentary quotas that you mentioned and yet i got the impression that during those latest deliberations over who is going to be iraq's next prime minister women's weiss's didn't register or at least weren't as loud as

somebody would have expected was that the case. you know this is work one of our a problem that's we always say that women been not assigned in their high position in such an impediment or in the government so this is what we are advocating for the it's that's women should be elected as you know deputy in the of the president here of the parliament or the dead or in the prime minister or the president of the republic and you can see that woman has nominated to have said in the competition with the prime or the president of the country she'd go to the third you know one of from many from thirty there are ambitious women in our countries taking into consideration that women in iraq has been the first one to be assigned as minister minister in nineteen fifty nine and we have a lot of these women being really always say they contributed

a lot in the political life some of them they were in the central committee of the party or in the leadership in many leadership of the parties in iran but now we have seen that with the ups's with a very weakness of this state has to specially that the absence of the security system. we can us of the justice system the questions of the tribes you know what are called the tribes in norms and traditions has been you know over. the rule of law. the status of women becoming more and down not in the advance one that we have really worked for that let me ask you specifically about one of those challenges because i know you're very proud about this problem entry quotas but i also heard people say that they do not represent a genuine political change there are people who complain that those many of those seats in parliament go to essentially figure has women from influential families

rather than january and real grassroots political activists do you agree with that . yes because not only woman from the men you know been selected through their ethnicity or their you know part is loyalty or because they are a sectarian sectarian way so women defaulted for woman issues or for woman's eyes for equality some of them you would find some of them in these rounds of these elected women because of the leadership of the political parties in iraq they don't believe rice or equality or they don't won't they feel that women are very much are in competition with them foreign says that we have seen the last election that some of these women. did that for men being as something been attacked by is smear

campaign which has affected them on sexual and on their sexual education on sexual you know dignity it was very this is a problem the mentality is this thin friend said among our politicians this is what we have to work very hard on changing the kid change of a stable. that's women can't participate always say voluntary and actively in the life of our country now you just alluded to the male patriarchy that doesn't want to see women represented in politics and this is a very typical framing in the west but i wonder if it actually applies to iran could know when the prize for peace and you said that it was an inspiration for all iraqi women but i also hold that this would be an inspiration for the whole iraqi people because far as i know she's the first iraqi in history to receive the nobel

prize can i ask you though because one more question because you mentioned before that male politicians are treating women's issues as a secondary issue will lead. alter bridge eight point six percent market saw thirty percent minus minus two years some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember it was one business show you know for them it's the one and only. you know world's big partners new digs. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and

shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back to worlds apart with their practice human rights activist. madam adler before the break we were talking about the challenges that iraqi women may face when entering politics but over the last few weeks there has been a series of crimes on borders i should say of women who had little or nothing to do with politics at least three of them were associated with beauty or fashion industry do you take those murders as isolated cases or do you think they're part

of a bigger trend no it is it is a big out of things that we have seen you know they tried this and message lot on a kid of this woman or. you know to put them in death but also it is a message for all iraqi young woman do with it draw voluntary from the public lives it is not because they are in a beauty salon or their fashion is or more dead but some of them they have you know one done for the humanitarian activities for the benefit of the poor people some one of them she was a human rights defenders she's working into civil society organizations and so this is it's a message for all iraqi women to with a drove voluntary from the public life and this woman they have really wonderful to stand you know to nations who are relations in this so in this society like them or don't want she has in this to go on would have than two million followers let me

ask you about her specifically her name was terrified she was a former miss baghdad she as you said had more than two and a half million followers on instagram and i think her murder was the most brazen of all because she was gunned down by two mourners cyclists while she was driving her wide porsche convertible him back that i don't want to sound like a victim blamer i think that it was a huge horrible horrible crime but don't you think that driving while porsche convertible in baghdad was almost bound to stir hatred given the level of diprivan ation in your country. yet as i say this is because of the absence or of the weakness very weak and as of this day to save security. the justice system you can see impunity on the crimes is very common in the country the judges the justice is not taking you know really did plays for. i concluded within

the forty eight hours and he also said that there was some sort of an organized plot behind all of those killings do you think that's all postering on his part or do you think the. authorities indeed. least you'll find out what happened and put it down to this is i don't know you know this is as i say. our state is not functioning it's not functioning as a proficient. corruptions inside this is very well. this is what's our dilema you know when you lose the security with the state security. the tribes the protections for you already use you know other protections for the person a life this is it is dilema for iraqis and we hope that their political reform should first to first go for it is to get you know

a functioning professional security has to give you know insurance for iraqis to live in peace to live you know in safety to practice their normal life in a very proper now it's impossible to have a conversation about women's rights in iraq without mentioning isis or dire the very very extreme form of sexual violence that they practice the kind of violence i'm horrified to say that but that makes rape look like normal because these people practice things that you wouldn't even think about. in a normal society how do you explain that phenomenon that so many men in the middle east commit those horrible atrocities against women and children why is it so widespread we would understand it if it was one psychopath but that's been dominant seems to be so broad. iraqi society has been under a violent environment for many decades and when does come you know as

a terrorist you know going is asian and so on it was the topic the top of the when we have seen the sexual. against women separate and when you after i always say that is not a military or security apparatus to eliminate diversion but the. leg the culture and the practices of guys is in the in the what you call it it is separate all over the country is not in the name of dies but the this violent extremism is even among the young people among the no men house eight armed forces armed groups in the country outside of the. iraqi. does there are the tribal and they are very heavy militarized there are even the corruptions this is all it's this conditions. you say purchase all the young people to use

their weapons and to use violence and then in cloying men in the country they have drugs also is now is a problem is a very problematic among young people in this solves all these issues it is really making suppressing the veyron and suppressing the violence because as i said the absence of the state apparatus this is will this is a playing more the role of you know in supporting violence everywhere and using violence against women against children and you can see it there from many cases of the domestic violence earlier this year you address the u.n. security council open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict and you are specifically talked about the women and children who isis fighters or dies fighters leave behind and who carry both the sexual and the criminal stigma as being associated with terrorist what happens to those people after their supposedly

husbands are killed or apprehend that. they are many of them they are isolated in a in the comes. in salaheddin or in or in. this is which we see that it is what you call it a timing bomb if with a still going just in isolations you know. comes. very little said if he says for them trying to be in order is not how he said abusing them even sexual abuse against some of these women going go on and really have exposed this you know cases many of these cases and we say that even about the children if we if we want to dry the terrorism of terrorism and the extremism in the country we have today have really this this ferment is if the family if the

member of the family accused of any action criminal action should be put into accountability but if they don't have any that's because of a member of their family has been involved in does they're not responsible for the third and they should really take. this state should take care of that very much to make for them any application program we need to speak of the right of this accident isn't on generalism we have to care of these five thousands of people not one or two thousands of people families of ice's these families some of them there are very innocent then you know sent children of you know very very little years why we can't we get through to him like them we have to get you know this is a humanitarian issue not a matter i absolutely agree with you thank you very much for being with us today i'm thank you for the very important work that you're doing ok thank you very much . i invite our viewers to keep this conversation going in our social media pages

and hope to hear again same place same time here on worlds apart. cooked additional supposed to bring us up to linger some it's just. the most. simple yet so intimate. look with a showing at the blue sky. you think it will show. you the

sleep study. both of shipping. most of those who booked it to the post in your book club still. i don't know what the rule. was the latest news in the put us. boys in the right so you have put. literature students are in the store. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk.

when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murderer i would be. and the death penalty just because they think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no really hasn't and then we hear even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the capitol here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. you see it good. and it is

a nuisance this is. the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end of that's known as the end and then i can flip out at tuesday's out in the. three. zero. zero. zero you.
