Ali Abdul Sada Jaiz
The seminar aimed to raise awareness about violence against women, a phenomenon considered one of the most serious social and humanitarian problems facing both ancient and modern societies. This is due to its profound negative impact on women’s dignity, physical and psychological well-being, and the stability of the family and society as a whole.
Key Conclusions: Women face many forms of violence in society, including physical violence, where women in Iraq are subjected to beatings and physical harassment, which can lead to serious injuries or even death. Psychological violence is another form, where women are subjected to threats, insults, and humiliation, negatively affecting their mental health. Key Recommendations: Strengthening awareness of the importance of women’s rights; increasing penalties for perpetrators of violence against women; providing psychological and economic support to female victims of violence; enhancing the role of the police and judiciary in protecting women; and the necessity of enacting legislation that criminalizes violence against women with clear and explicit provisions, independently.
