| Summary: | The present article examines women's political engagement in Iraq following 2003, presenting an evaluation of their current political milieu. The text provides insight into the rise of multiple women's groups, clarifying their goals and actions. The article delves into
the unique difficulties and hindrances faced by proponents of women's rights in presentday
Iraq. In the aftermath of the collapse of the Ba'athist government, a promising window
of opportunity emerged for women to participate in the political sphere. As a result, female
citizens of Iraq have attained a noteworthy degree of political engagement, obtaining roles
within the governmental and parliamentary spheres. Despite persistent efforts, individuals
in Iraq are still facing a range of obstacles stemming from tribal, sectarian, customary, and
legal factors, which are primarily influenced by prevailing patriarchal and sectarian
ideologies. This research employs historical, descriptive, and political analysis to showcase
the active participation of Iraqi women in the political and social landscape of Iraq. This
statement highlights their continuous involvement in promoting the progress of the political
system, as evidenced by their occupancy of various political positions. |
