Status of Women in Iraq: CodePink Women's Delegation Report Back An all-women delegation, led by CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, has recently returned from Iraq. The delegation's goal was to research how Iraqi women are faring under U.S. occupation. Delegates met with U.S. authorities, Iraqi officials, and representatives from a variety of Iraqi women's organizations that are working on issues ranging from creating income-generating projects for women to organizing shelters for victims of domestic violence to raising women's concerns in the writing of the new constitution, and they talked to Iraqi women in their homes, at the university, and in the markets. Please join us for an informative evening discussing the delegation's findings and what we can do in the U.S. to support the women of Iraq. 7th Heaven Yoga Studio 2820 7th St. (at Heinz) Berkeley For more information, contact Jodie Evans at: jodie@codepinkalert.org. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We also hope to see you and your sweetie at the candlelight vigil for the women of Juarez on February 14th from 6:30 to 7:30pm in Dolores Park in San Francisco.
