On an invitation by the women’s section of National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, (RMT) Houzan Mahmoud representative of Organisation of women’s freedom in Iraq took part in the women’s annual conference of RMT which was held in Gloucester on 24th & 25th February.

In this conference Houzan spoke about the current political situation in Iraq, and the continues struggle of Iraqi women against both occupation and Islamism in Iraq. She stressed upon the importance of solidarity with women’s struggle for freedom and equality and for ending occupation.

She spoke about the installed puppet regime and the fear of the implementation of Islamic reactionary laws in Iraq and called for their support. The delegates admired Houzan for her organisations work and thanked her for giving them a new insight into the problems in Iraq.

At the end they presented a £100 donation to organisation of women’s freedom in Iraq.
