Iraqi Women Death Toll Rises

In Iraq many women have been killed by extremists for not following Islamic Teachings. There is a sign up that says "We warn against not wearing a headscarf and wearing makeup. Those who do not abide by this will be punished. God is our witness, we have notified you." Many women now live in fear. There have been many horrible stories about women being killed, and tortured. There have also been many incidents of women being killed infront of their children by extremeists. This is a growing problem in Iraq which has not been easy to solve. It has been very hard to catch the murder's who commit these crimes. After the fall of Sadamm Hussiens regimes women were starting to have more rights and freedoms in iraq. But now many are saying this is now the worst times for women in iraq ever.
