In continuation of MADRE’s campaign to amend Iraq’s NGO shelter policy, MADRE and their Iraqi partner, the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq (OWFI), sent a letter to Lise Grande, the Deputy Head of the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) and drew attention to OWFI’s efforts to provide shelter to women and girls fleeing gender-based violence in central and southern Iraq, despite the government’s prohibition of NGO-run shelters.
