Field Monitor, Iraq

The work really makes me feel happy, because I help disadvantaged people in Anbar. Seeing them happy and appreciate our credible work is very fulfilling. I have learnt so many new skills since working with UNDP, like meeting important deadlines, working diligently, and working with a positive team spirit.

Sometimes there are challenges – the area I work in is pretty tribal and many people have a traditional mindset.

The best advice I received is: “If you are honest and love what you do, then you will be amazing in your work.”

I believe that women have the right to live freely and to earn a quality education. I hope that women of Iraq will embrace their rights and pursue things like education, politics, and jobs in the government or private sectors.
