--Eman Khamas on Democracy Now!

Eman Khamas is a journalist, translator and human rights activist who lives in Baghdad with her husband and two daughters. She is a member of the Women's Will organization, which focuses on defining and defending women's rights outside of political party interests and opposing incarceration of women as hostages. Khamas regularly publishes articles on women's conditions in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion, and has documented human rights violations committed by US and Iraqi forces. She is also involved in mobilizing emergency relief (medicines, food and clothing) for victims of the war, especially women and children living in refugee camps.

Khamas arrived in the US on March 5, as part of a delegation of Iraqi women who have taken great risks to come and tell you their stories. Find out what you aren't being told by the warmakers and their press stenographers.
