Mr. Bercow: To ask the Minister for Women what recent assessment she has made of women's rights in Iraq. [123331]
Ms Hewitt: During this critical phase in the reconstruction of Iraq, I am extremely concerned that women's rights are given adequate
attention.
Indeed, the Coalition Provisional Authority's gender equality team--which includes a secondee from the DTI Women and Equality
Unit--is currently assessing women's rights in Iraq within the framework for a women's conference that will take place in Baghdad
shortly. Officials are holding discussions with in-country Iraqi women, who are legal experts, on constitutional and legal reform
aiming to assess and improve women's rights and improve them. These discussions will feed into two of the workshops of the women's
conference, mirroring the emergent political process and feeding recommendations into the system.
