Social Organizer, Iraq
The most important work we can do is to help people with sincerity and confidence. Then you can see the positive impact you have made on society.
I’m so passionate about helping women and children – they are the biggest victims of war and conflict. I work hard to help them achieve their hopes and aspirations and ensure they can build a future by helping them return home safely.
When I was a child, I dreamed of working in the media, to cover the suffering in the world. Today in my work with UNDP, I still have the chance to make a difference.
I believe in the proverb that says, "You do not have to say all you know, but you have to know all you say." I believe that women have the right to life and freedom. They have a special way of thinking, they are creative, and they have the potential to change the world for the better.
I hope that women will embrace their right to education, their right to participate in politics and government sectors and to generally have the same opportunities as men. Because women are not half the society but the whole society and should be freed from archaic rules that are contrary to basic human rights.
