Iraqi workers and women face attacks not only from the US-UK occupation and the US-backed Interim Government, but also from the right-wing "resistance". Around International Women’s Day on March 8th, NUS Women’s Campaign and No Sweat will be organising a speaker tour with Houzan Mahmoud from the Organisation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq to promote financial and political solidarity with the Iraqi women's and trade union movements. Come and hear an Iraqi socialist feminist speak!
