Your Call 031708 How have women been affected by war in Iraq?

How have women been affected by war in Iraq? On the next Your Call, we begin a weeklong series to commemorate the 5-year anniversary of the U.S. invasion. Women in Iraq have endured decades of war and sanctions and on the American side, women now make up 15 percent of active duty forces, four times more than the number of women serving in the Gulf War. So what impact has the war had on both Iraqi and American women? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
