In a move that has shocked human rights activists, Iraq is planning to force media outlets and social media platforms to replace the word "homosexuality" with the phrase "sexual deviance." The Iraqi Communications and Media Commission (CMC) confirmed this planned change, also revealing a ban on the use of the word "gender." Amnesty International has vehemently condemned this decision, with Aya Majzoub, the organization's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, stating that, โThe CMCโs ban of the word 'homosexuality' and insistence that media use 'sexual deviance' instead is a dangerous move that can fuel discrimination and violent attacks against members of the LGBTI community.โ Majzoub added that the decision demonstrates "a callous disregard for combatting gender-based violence" at a time when such crimes are reportedly on the rise in the country. The announcement has further ignited concerns over freedom of expression and non-discrimination in Iraq.
