Iraqi Scientific Humanitarian Committee
- Iraqi Scientific Humanitarian Committee
The Iraqi Scientific Humanitarian Committee is a political entity in Iraq that supports a secular, democratic republic that is committed to protecting the freedom and human rights of all citizens, including LGBT Iraqis.
The political entity has borrowed the name and much of the terminology from the original German gay rights movement that was led by Magnus Hirschfeld and started up in the late nineteenth century.
