Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, during
its thirtieth session held at United Nations Headquarters in New York
from 12 to 30 January 2004, noted with concern recent developments
with regard to the situation of women’s human rights in Iraq.
In particular, the Committee noted a decision by the Governing

inheritance. Is women's struggle for peace and democracy truly that much of a threat? Impressions
from a member of the international
women's delegation "The army, the police, the secret services and the numerous political parties in Turkey are bound to answer 'yes' to that question. They do pose a threat, because there are so many of them. They build networks and join forces in close co-operation and support. And even if we arrest them, and torture or even rape them, they will not be silenced. Afghan women: Fighting for the right to sing!

We started setting up Dialogue Tables for Peace in several cities of Turkey in the pioneership of feminist organisations. It was a beginning to it set up in the cities we live. Despite the suffocating greyness of the violence culture, we carried the peace table to Bingol representing 39 NGO’s from Adana, Mersin, Diyarbakir, Ankara, Batman, Van,Urfa, Bolu, Elazið, and Istanbul to paint Bingol in the color of peace . So that the militarist noise overwhelming all voices is torn apart, and leave its place to the possibility of civil conversations and conditions of producing solutions! So that whatever which cannot be talked about in Bingol is talked about and gets visible...
