The College of Administration and Economics at the University of Basrah held an awareness symposium on the empowerment of women in Iraq.
The symposium, presented by Dr. Arafat Nasser Al-Youssef, aims to cast light on women's rights from the political and economic perspectives in Iraq.
The symposium included the presentation of two topics, in which the first topic explained the role of empowering women from ancient times until the modern era in terms of all religions, with a focus on the Islamic religion. The second topic clarified the political role of Iraqi women and what was mentioned about them in the Iraqi constitution after 2003 and the text of the constitution scheduled for 2005.
The symposium recommended the need to provide training and development for women and allow them to assume administrative and political advisory positions and empower them economically by providing job opportunities, offering small projects and providing them with financial loans, in addition to emphasizing free education to eliminate illiteracy among them and prepare them to be able to take responsibility for their children to create promising generations.
