Member of the Committee, MP Yousraa Rajab, said that "the cabinet voted today on the law against family violence, and it will refer it to the parliament for the purpose of voting on it in accordance with constitutional contexts."
She added, in a press statement, that "many claims we made previously to the relevant authorities to present the draft law to the House of Representatives to provide protection for all family members and not only women, and for members of Iraqi families to live in a healthy family environment," indicating that "the constitution is in accordance with Article (29) ) From it, the state must provide protection to the family as the basis of society, especially motherhood, childhood, and old age, and the constitution prohibited all forms of violence and abuse in the family, school, and society. " She indicated "
The necessity of holding an extraordinary session of the House of Representatives in accordance with the provisions of Article (58 / First) of the Constitution, to discuss the draft law on protection from family violence and expedite its approval, after recording many cases of violence within the family within the quarantine as a result of the outbreak of the Corona epidemic.
It is reported that legal violations, violation of the rights of the demonstrators, disruption of public services and the country's electricity crisis did not enable the House of Representatives to hold an extraordinary session.
The draft law raises a wide debate among the parliamentary circles, as MP Ammar Tohme said, earlier, the draft domestic violence law contains dangerous implications that threaten serious consequences for the stability of the Iraqi Muslim family and tries to reproduce Western experiences and transfer them to our social reality neglected and ignoring the moral and value foundations upon which our Muslim societies are based .
The draft law provides for the establishment of government shelters, but the law requires a coordination with local women's rights organizations in the management, training and operation of these centers, and to allow the operation of shelters operated by private bodies for survivors of domestic violence. This paragraph objected to the number of deputies in the National Alliance, which they considered as exposing the victim to a new injustice by depriving him of the home and the atmosphere of care and replacing it with centers where people working as strangers to the victim work.
This view is shared by social researcher Hussein Al-Kazemi, who emphasized that "the paragraph contained in the draft family violence law that deals with the isolation of teenage boys in shelters away from the family's atmosphere, is contrary to Iraqi social values as well as Islamic values." Al-Kazemi added that "the application of this paragraph may take the teenager to a state of moral and ethical deviation," calling on the House of Representatives to "re-read and correct in this project. https://aynaliraqnews.com/index.php?aa=news&id22=137005
