The College of Education for Women at the University of Basrah organized a symposium on the World Father's Day.
The symposium, which was organized by the Educational Guidance Unit in cooperation with the Continuing Education Unit, dealt with topics on the basic role of the father in the lives of children.
The symposium indicated that the absence of the father from the family and from his duties in raising children causes disasters, so that some researches confirmed the existence of psychological problems, sexual deviations, weakness of personality and behaviors that are not acceptable in society due to the absence of the father.
The symposium pointed out that proper upbringing needs joint guidance from both the mother and the father, as the responsibility of the father towards his children is not limited to material support only, as is the case now in many homes, as they need from their father emotional and psychological support, guidance and advice.
