Iraqi women organise economic boycott of US

-23/01/05

by Peggy Gish

Along the entrance to the Women's Will organization, Maxine Nash and I saw banners saying, "The Occupation Kills Your Sons, Don't Buy from the Occupiers," "Boycott the Invaders, and "Iraqi Mothers United Against Sectarian Fighting." Inside the meeting room another more colourful banner said, "No Peace Without Justice."

We walked into a teach-in already in progress. Hana Ibrahim, coordinator of Women's Will and Dr Balkiss, member of the board, (two middle aged Muslim women) alternatively spoke to about eighteen women and five men about one way Iraqis could resist the U.S. occupation.
