Abstract EN

The current study aims to identify the social problems of female workers in shopping centers, and the importance of the study is to shed light on an important issue in Iraqi society, which is the social problems facing working women.

Iraqi women are exposed to many problems and obstacles that stand in the way of their work outside home.

Among the most prominent of these is the negative view of society.

Monitoring the problems facing working women can contribute to the design of educational awareness programs and activities for all members of society to draw their attention to the importance of the role played by women.

The problem of the study lies in the importance of the role that women play during their work, they still suffer from injustice and inequality between them and men.

The Iraqi woman is a product of an Islamic civilization that has its own characteristics and contribution to the humanitarian field.

She has suffered from discrimination between her and men, and from the harsh conditions that prevailed in the region in the past; a long time ago, women began to engage in voluntary social work as an inevitable result of the negative attitude of society at that time regarding their participation in official work.

They had endeavored with all their capabilities to prove their ability to give, and to demonstrate the importance of their role in society and production.

Women tended to commit to any work that secures their daily needs, even if it was at cafes and shopping centers.

During their work in these places, they faced many social problems, most notably the society's view towards them, and the pressures they suffer from parents and partners, which the current study seeks to address by research and investigation.

To explore all aspects associated with it, which affect it.

In the current study, reliance was made on a sample social survey due to the difficulty of applying to all members of working women, the original community of the study consisted of all the women working in shopping centers in the city of Baghdad, and the researcher was unable to obtain accurate data for the numbers of the original community due to the absence of official statistics to prove the original number of women working in shopping centers, and accordingly the researcher applied her research in malls.
