I pay tribute to the great women's rights advocate #YanarMohammed, tragically murdered in #Iraq today
Condolences to her family, friends & all who continue her work
The work of #women #HumanRights defenders who challenge extremists is so dangerous
Support them. Honor Yanar.
Karima Bennoune
Yanar Mohammed is one of Iraq’s most prominent women’s rights activists and established the country’s first shelters for survivors of domestic violence and trafficking. She was assassinated outside her Baghdad home when two gunmen on motorcycles opened fire in the morning.
