The research involves studying the social identity for Iraqi people during the ten decades ago.

it proceeds from gender perspective since it represents recently one the most significant problems in Iraq.

the gender-based identity has been suffering from certain factors: the military, tribal, and totalitarian regimes, American aggression, and sectarian (Shia) rule.

all these factors have participated to make the authority patriarchal.

additionally the Iraqi traditional culture has always inequal view towards both man and woman.

this inadequate view has been driven by inherited values which, of course, don’t represent modernity.

thus, for social considerations multi-different roles have appeared between the man and the woman whether in single family, work, law, or even occupation.

the Iraqi woman has been unable to go up the social mobility vertically.

her movement, within this mobility, has remained horizontally.

moreover, the wars (civil or non), economic embargo, American aggression, and Iranian dominance have a bad effect on the woman's role in her community.

the Iraqi woman has become independent, restricted, and controlled by dictatorship and inherited conversative traditions of Iraqi society.

these Iraqi traditions have unfortunately weakened her participation in the social development.

her identity has always been recognized by her sex only (female) in spite of her social role (woman).

she has become a second-class citizen who has not been qualified and skillful as well as man to serve the community she belongs.

the Iraqi woman has become disempowered and always inferior to the man.
