- Abstract:
It may shock women's rights advocates to learn that the large majority of Baghdad, Iraq residents say that in the future, women should follow more traditional/conservative roles than they did before the invasion--a sentiment echoed nearly equally by 72% men and 67% women. The remaining Baghdad residents are split between favoring more freedom for women. In comparison to some other Middle Eastern countries, the status of women in Iraqi society was relatively liberal under President Saddam Hussein.
