Women of Mosul

The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and ASUDA Organisation in KRI, studies the gendered consequences that the military operations have had on the lives of women and girls in Mosul, and the role civil society plays in building peace.

We invite you to a panel discussion at GCSP, moderated by Fleur Heyworth, GCSP’s Head of Gender and Inclusive Security, to launch the outcome report with Khanum Lateef, founder of ASUDA organization, Sarah Boukhary, MENA Advocacy Coordinator, Ray Acheson, WILPF’s Disarmament Programme Director, and Omar Mohammed, historian and founder of Mosul Eye, to discuss:

• How did the military strategy adopted by coalition forces impact on the rights of the women of Mosul, and what is the legacy for their social, economic and political rights?
• What more needs to be done to restrict and prohibit the use and transfer of explosive weapons in populated areas?
• What can a holistic gendered analysis offer to humanitarian relief efforts?
• What next for the people of Mosul, a (inclusive) political resolution to the conflict and sustainable peace?
