In the Middle East and North African region, the 13 communications sent indicate that women's rights defenders in Iraq face risks such as killings, death threats, and armed attacks. By contrast, activists for women's rights in Bahrain, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates reported harassment of a more judicial nature, such as arrests, violations of freedom of assembly, and travel bans.
