Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion

This is what I have been saying for far too long.
Where is the outrage?
Enough is enough.

Forgive me, but most feminists lack, well, the testicles to get out front on this issue.

Islamists hit back. Most others don't. And they don't want to be on the receiving end of, say, an acid-to-the-face attack... so, like Christianity gets attacked in Hollywood while Islam gets a pass, the same can be said for feminists... and their roaring silence over the abuse of women under that peculiar institution.

Here's a feminist group that runs a network of shelters for abused Iraqi women:

MADRE works with the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq (OWFI), to meet the needs of survivors of gender-based violence and empower Iraqi women to defend their rights.

A Network of Shelters

OWFI and MADRE co-founded the first network of women's shelters in the non-Kurdish part of Iraq to provide a safe haven for women fleeing violence. A human rights training program at the shelters strengthens women's capacity to extend support to other women and build the skills to demand their rights to political participation and freedom from violence of all kinds. Particular attention is paid to the needs of displaced widows and female heads of household.

MADRE's Underground Railroad for Iraqi Women offers women who are threatened with "honor killing" the means and social support to escape danger and begin to build a new life.

Just as enslaved African Americans relied on a secret network of courageous individuals to help them make their way to freedom, Iraqi women who are threatened with "honor killings" now have allies and an escape route.

Funny how they get no media attention.
