WPS25 Policy Brief: Iraq

We call upon diplomatic actors and the international donors to prioritise the support of Iraqi feminist activists and women’s rights organisations. Their work is essential in countering the current regression of women’s rights and their insights key for realizing inclusive security through an intersectional approach. Feminist activists and women’s rights organizations in Iraq are facing escalating repression, with key legal protections being dismantled and civic space increasingly restricted. We need to act now.
