Between February and September 1988, the Iraqi government destroyed
over 2000 Kurdish villages, killing somewhere between 50,000 and
100,000 civilians and displacing many more. The operation was
codenamed Anfal which literally means 'the spoils of war'. For the
survivors of this campaign, Anfal did not end in September 1988:
the aftermath of this catastrophe is as much a part of the Anfal
story as the gas attacks, disappearances and life in the camps.
This book examines Kurdish women's experience of violence,
destruction, the disappearance of loved ones, and incarceration
during the Anfal campaign. It explores the survival strategies of
these women in the aftermath of genocide. By bringing together and
highlighting women's own testimonies, Choman Hardi reconstructs the
Anfal narrative in contrast to the current prevailng one which is
highly politicised, simplified, and nationalistic. It also
addresses women's silences about sexual abuse and rape in a
patriarchal society which holds them responsible for having been a
victim of sexual violence.
