Through OWFI, Yanar Mohammed has committed herself to stop atrocities against Iraqi women and defend their rights. She is an important and passionate speaker on behalf of Iraqi women worldwide. Ms. Mohammed, her then-husband, and their infant son left Iraq in 1993 and settled in Canada in 1995, where she worked with other Iraqi women to establish the Defense of Iraqi Women's Rights in 1998.
OWFI was formed in 1992 in the north of Iraq by volunteers, in order to provide shelter services (including armed protection, safe dwelling, and legal services) for women. OWFI has a history of collaborative engagement in the region and a range of projects that build and sustain a culture dedicated to women’s human rights, including publication and distribution of an independent newspaper.
