It’s hard to think of a worse place in the world to be queer than Iraq. Aside from the criminalisation of homosexuality and the death penalty under Sharia laws, LGBT people have to deal with violence in the family, armed vigilantes enforcing so-called morality laws and discrimination from a society that doesn’t understand them – and doesn’t want to.
Human Rights Watch in partnership with IraQueer have documented stories from LGBT people in Iraq. In a challenging read, they have produced the report – Everyone Wants Me Dead: Killings, Abductions, Torture, and Sexual Violence against LGBT People by Armed Groups in Iraq. In this podcast we hear from report author Rasha Younes from Human Rights Watch and brave activist Amir Ashour from IraQueer.
