Empowering women in Iraq… a vision in the legal framework

Abstract

The active and basic role that women play in any society is largely linked to a set of factors represented in the social status they enjoy and the official and societal recognition that they have rights that cannot be derogated from in any way. These rights include the right to work and to participate in social, economic and even political affairs Thus, women's attainment of these rights gives them greater opportunities to build their character and enhance their status further. Most of the temporary constitutions in Iraq lacked commitment to human rights standards and basic freedoms, because they were originally outputs of individual or tyrannical regimes far from human rights charters approved by international legitimacy, including women’s rights. But after 2003, the policies for empowering women in Iraq had a different form and far from any ideological purposes. If I want women to have a real role in changing for the better.
