| Abstract
|
:
|
The 2003 imperialist occupation of Iraq brought out the worst in the society, unleashing Islamist religious extremism, ethnic division, and misogyny, causing atrocities on women such as enslavement, trafficking and misogynist legislation. This research is based on personal experience of founding the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, a secular feminist organization to confront patriarchy and capitalism. The research begins with an analysis of the forced socio-political changes and proceeds to investigate the problematic of extreme patriarchal violence against women and demonstrates the ways in which feminists of the organization resisted and challenged patriarchy through establishing a network of women’s shelters. This research is a Marxist feminist analysis of systemic patriarchal violence, concluding a theoretic framework of its concepts, power relations, and social structures; thus, informing the articulation of an organizational feminist platform to guide the struggles of Iraqi women to dismantle patriarchy and capitalism within a revolutionary movement.
