जब आप किसी को लंबे समय तक प्रताड़ित करते हैं, तो हो सकता है कि आपको एक बहुत जुनूनी मानवाधिकार रक्षक मिल जाए, लेकिन इसकी सबसे अधिक संभावना यही है कि आपको एक ऐसा दरिंदा मिलेगा जिसकी एकमात्र चिंता किसी भी तरह से अपना बदला चुकाना होती है।
When you torture a person for long periods you might get a very passionate human rights defender but most probably you will get a beast whose only concern is to seek his revenge in the best way possible.

आईएसआईएस (ISIS) ने अपने जीते हुए शहरों की महिलाओं के साथ क्या किया है? सीधे तौर पर उन्हें गुलाम बनाया, उनका अपमान किया और महिलाओं को ऐसी रखैल बना दिया जिन्हें खरीदा और बेचा जा सके। ऐसी चीज़ देखने की उम्मीद इराक में किसी ने नहीं की थी।
What has ISIS done to the women in the cities they have conquered? Direct enslavement, humiliation and turning women into concubines to be bought and sold. This was something nobody expected to see in Iraq.

मैं चाहती हूँ कि इराक में महिला आश्रय गृहों को कानूनी मान्यता देने वाला एक कानून बने। मैं चाहती हूँ कि हम उस सरकारी निकाय पर जो दबाव बना रहे हैं, उसके परिणामस्वरूप हमारा रेडियो स्टेशन दोबारा शुरू हो सके।
I would like to see a law legalising women's shelters in Iraq. I would like to see our radio being opened again as a result of the pressure that we're putting on the governmental body that could allow this.

संविधान ने महिलाओं को ऐसी स्थिति में ला खड़ा किया है जहाँ धार्मिक गिरोहों से उनकी रक्षा करने वाला कोई नहीं है। यदि कोई महिला तीसरी या चौथी पत्नी है और घर के अंदर उसके पास कोई अधिकार नहीं है, और ऊपर से उसके साथ घरेलू हिंसा भी होती है, तो उसका जीवन बर्बाद है। इस्लामी शरिया कानून के तहत एक महिला को अपने पति की मार चुपचाप सहनी पड़ती है। इस्लामी शरिया के अनुसार वह बगावत नहीं कर सकती क्योंकि वह तीसरी या चौथी पत्नी है।
The constitution has put women in a position where no one will protect them from religious cliques. If a woman is the third or the fourth wife and she has no rights inside her home and, on top of that, there is domestic abuse in her house, she is doomed. Under Islamic Sharia law a woman must accept beatings from her husband. Under Islamic Sharia, she must not revolt because she is the third or fourth wife.

मैं चाहती हूँ कि इराकी सरकार उन यजीदी महिलाओं को सामाजिक सुरक्षा की गारंटी दे जिन्हें गुलाम बनाया गया था और युद्धबंदी के रूप में उनकी स्थिति को मान्यता दे।
I would like to see the Iraqi government guarantee social insurance for the Yazidi women who were enslaved and to recognise their status as prisoners of war.

2003 से पहले, हम में से कोई नहीं जानता था कि देश का कौन सा हिस्सा सुन्नी है और कौन सा शिया। इराक के लिए यह एक नई बात थी और आज हम इसके परिणाम भुगत रहे हैं। महिलाओं की भलाई को इसकी भारी कीमत चुकानी पड़ी है।
Before 2003, none of us knew which part of the country was Sunni and which part was Shi'a. This was something new to Iraq and we are reaping the results at this point. Women's wellbeing has paid the price.

दूसरे देशों के साथ हमारे कई युद्ध हुए हैं और जब कोई कैदी वापस लौटता है तो उसे कई तरह के लाभ मिलते हैं, उसे घर मिलता है, वेतन मिलता है—और मैं चाहती हूँ कि इराकी सरकार यजीदी महिलाओं के लिए भी ऐसा ही करे ताकि उन्हें वह सामाजिक दर्जा मिल सके जिससे वे एक अच्छा भविष्य, एक अच्छा परिवार और समाज में एक सम्मानजनक स्थान पा सकें।
We have had many wars with other countries and when a prisoner comes back they get many benefits, they get a house, they get a salary and I want the Iraqi government to do this for the Yazidi women so that they can have the social status that would allow a good future, a good family and a good status in society.

संविधान के बिल्कुल शुरुआती हिस्से में ही वह अनुच्छेद है जो शरिया के खिलाफ किसी भी कानून या अनुच्छेद को खारिज करता है। हम इराकी महसूस करते हैं कि यह हम पर थोपा गया था। यह यहाँ की अपनी उपज नहीं थी। इराकी लोगों ने लगभग 50 वर्षों तक एक प्रकार का धर्मनिरपेक्ष जीवन जिया था।
In the very first part of the constitution there is the article that refuses any law or any article in discrepancy with Sharia. We Iraqis feel it was imposed on us. It wasn't a local thing. Iraqis have led a sort of secular life for almost 50 years.

अमेरिका ने शिया इस्लामी राजनीतिक समूहों को ताकत दी और इराक के एक बड़े हिस्से, जिन्हें सुन्नी के रूप में पहचाना जाता था, को हाशिए पर धकेल दिया। यह तो तय था कि अगला कदम सांप्रदायिक धार्मिक गतिशीलता के उभरने का होगा, जहाँ एक धार्मिक समूह दूसरे धार्मिक समूह से लड़ेगा।
The US empowered the Shi'a Islamic political groups and marginalised a big part of Iraq who were recognised as Sunni people. It was only to be expected that the next step would be for the sectarian religious dynamics to surface, for one religious group to be fighting another religious group.

2014-2015 का नया अपडेट ज़ाहिर तौर पर आईएसआईएस का आक्रमण है। लेकिन इसकी जड़ें हालिया इतिहास में हैं। यह इराक में अमेरिकी कब्जे के साथ आई तमाम राजनीतिक चालों का सीधा परिणाम है।
The new update of 2014-2015 is, of course, the attack of ISIS. But this is rooted in recent history. It is the direct result of all the politics that came into Iraq with the occupation.

जो युवतियां बिना माता-पिता के माहौल में बड़ी होती हैं, वे आमतौर पर वेश्यालयों में शोषण का शिकार बनती हैं।
Young women growing into situations with no parents are usually material for exploitation in the brothels.

ओडब्ल्यूएफआई (OWFI) की स्थापना कुछ इराकी महिलाओं ने मिलकर की थी जिन्होंने अपनी आवाज उठाने का फैसला किया था। हमें पूरा यकीन था कि आने वाली सरकार महिलाओं के अनुकूल नहीं होगी। पहले दिन से हमारी नीति इराक के बाहर से समर्थन हासिल करने की कोशिश करने की थी।
OWFI was founded by a few Iraqi women who decided to have a voice. We were sure the future government would not be a woman-friendly one. From the first day our policy was to try to gain support from outside Iraq.

आईएसआईएस के प्रमुख नेता या तो अमेरिकी सैन्य जेलों में प्रताड़ित किए गए थे या फिर अमेरिका द्वारा स्थापित शिया सरकार की जेलों में।
The leading members of ISIS were either tortured in US military prisons or in the prisons of the Shi'a government which the Americans put in place.

शुरुआत में, 2003 में, इराकी प्रतिरोध था, जो अमेरिकी कब्जे के खिलाफ था, फिर उन्होंने अल कायदा को जन्म दिया, लेकिन तब भी वह कभी इतना भयानक, इतना अमानवीय और महिलाओं से इतनी नफरत करने वाला नहीं था जैसा कि हम आज आईएसआईएस के दौर में देख रहे हैं।
In the beginning, in 2003, there was the Iraqi resistance, which didn't want the US occupation, then they developed Al Qaeda, but even then it was never this monstrous, this inhumane and as misogynistic as what we're seeing now under ISIS.

इराक में, हमने तानाशाहों को भी देखा है, युद्ध के दौर भी देखे हैं लेकिन बात कभी इस हद तक नहीं पहुंची थी कि कोई व्यक्ति या समूह किसी दूसरे पर हमला करे और उस समूह की सभी महिलाओं को गुलाम बना ले।
In Iraq, we did have dictators, we did have times of war but it never reached the point where one person, or a group, would be attacking another group and would be enslaving all the women of that group.

जब मैं एक छात्रा थी, तो मैं आधुनिक कपड़ों में रहती थी और लंबे शॉर्ट्स पहनती थी। वह अतीत की बात है। सड़कों पर डर का माहौल है। आप सड़कों पर निकल नहीं सकते। आपको ऐसे देखा जाता मानो आप किसी और युग से आए हों। अगर आपकी गली में कोई मिलिशिया (सशस्त्र दल) है, तो वे आपसे घर वापस जाने और ढंग के कपड़े पहनने को कहेंगे। वे आपको पीट सकते हैं या उससे भी बदतर सजा दे सकते हैं। हम में से जो लोग बगदाद में बड़े हुए हैं, वे अपनी मर्जी के कपड़े पहनने और जहाँ चाहें वहाँ घूमने के आदी हैं।
When I was a student, I was dressed like a modern girl and I wore long shorts. That is part of the past. There is fear in the streets. You cannot go out in the streets. You are looked at as if you come from another age. If there are any militias on your street, they will tell you to go back home and dress decently. They could beat you up or punish you worse than that. Some of us who have grown up in Baghdad are used to wearing what we please and walking where we please.

80 के दशक में बहुविवाह कोई समस्या नहीं थी। मुझे बगदाद में एक भी ऐसी महिला याद नहीं है जो दूसरी या तीसरी पत्नी रही हो। अब यह बहुत आम बात हो गई है। कभी-कभी दो पत्नियां एक आदमी के साथ 5 बाय 10 फीट के कमरे में रहती हैं। यह बेहद दयनीय आर्थिक स्थिति है।
Polygamy was not a problem in the '80s. I do not remember one single woman in Baghdad who was the second or third wife. Now it's a very common story. Sometimes two wives living with a man in a 5 by 10 foot room. It's a very miserable economic situation.
