إشكالية التمكين السياسي للنساء ذوات الاعاقة في ضوء التشريعات العراقية

Abstract EN

Democracy in any country is measured by the cultural، social and economic level reached by women in it in general and women with disabilities in particular، and the extent of their participation in political life and political decision-making.

As a result of the patriarchal power that societies have known، including Iraq، history has witnessed multiple types and forms of discrimination against women، which differed from one country to another، this matter has pushed women، and since the beginning of the last century، to raise the issue of women's rights at the global، regional and national levels، through holding international conferences and agreements in order to empower women in all social، economic and political fields.

The conditions that Iraq has been subjected to، including wars، sectarian conflicts and violence، left many people with disabilities in Iraqi society، and despite the lack of accurate statistics for their numbers، the persons with disabilities in Iraq are estimated by civil society organizations to number about three million people، from which women occupy not insignificant percentage.

As a result of Iraq's characterization as a male society that calls for male control over women، in addition to the nature of the tribal society and the inferior view of the disabled woman and her family، the suffering of women with disabilities is greater.

They are deprived of their most important rights، which is the right to live or isolate themselves from society and strip them of their natural rights، which were guaranteed by all religions ، norms and international laws recognized by Iraq.
