- Asuda abstract "Asuda for Combating Violence against Women is a women's rights organization in Kurdistan, Iraq provides protection, support and help to victims of gender based violence.Asuda is a non-profit, non-governmental, non-affiliated organization based in Sulaymaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan. Asuda was founded to provide protection and support to victims of gender-based violence in Iraqi Kurdistan. Violence against women and honour killings are a key social problem in Iraqi Kurdistan. Despite efforts from civil society to end killings, the rate of violence is increasing. Respect for women and women's rights continue to be a controversial and sensitive issue. Honour killings are accepted within 'tribal' or customary laws. Women that are suspected to have sex before marriage, raped women, or a woman who got married and got children without the family's acceptance, may be killed to restore family honour.In 2000 Asuda opened the first women's shelter in the Kurdish region. Asuda means \"providing comfort\". It provides protection to women who are threatened by honour killings. Some of these women even have to leave Kurdistan or Iraq. Asuda assists women from different ethnic and religious origins across Iraq as well as neighbouring countries. Its objectives are as follows:Eradication of discrimination and all forms of violence against women including FGM in the Kurdish society.Breaking taboos of bringing up women's rights issues and influence the public opinion in favour of women's rights.Promoting the awareness of the public about the negative consequences of violence against women.Reinforcing lobbying groups to amend relevant laws and legislations that are against the interests of women's rights, and that encourage violence against women and abuse of women's rights.To achieve its objectives, Asuda implements the following activities: Protection: the shelter protects hundreds of women facing gender-based violence, female genital mutilation (FGM), and abuse or honour killing threats. More women come to the centre for mediation services, counselling, and/or legal aid. Awareness: Asuda cooperates with authorities and police and tries to increase police awareness on honour killings and violence against women. Asuda also aims to raise the awareness of citizens through various local media outlets, campaigns, seminars. It has published booklets and books to inform people about women's rights and violence. Research and monitoring: Asuda collects and compiles data and statistics on violence against women cases and plans to set up an online database. An example is the cases collection of women that have committed suicide or died as result of honor killing. Lobby: Asuda works closely with the Kurdistan Regional Government and tries to influence the development of legal standards and the improvement of laws that should protect women. Women's rights are now one of the Kurdish government's priorities, partly due to Asuda's advocacy.Asuda relies on grants and donations from local, national, regional and international donors and organizations including United Nations agencies and programs and the European Union. Asuda has received many grants from key international and regional organizations including UN agencies and program as well as embassies and ministries of foreign affairs of European Union as well as the United States.Due to the controversy of Asuda's work and the perception of the local communities to its work and activities, Asuda has come under several direct and indirect threats and attacks. The most serious attack on Asuda was a gunfire attack on Asuda's main office in Sulaymaniyah on 11 May 2008 where unknown gunmen opened fire on Asuda and seriously injured a woman inside the building.".
