The hardest thing I have encountered in my job in Mosul is seeing a large number of widows and orphans from the war, and not being able to provide them with sufficient assistance.
I dreamed to be involved in the media and communication sector; Oprah Winfrey is my idol! It was my father who encouraged me to be an engineer just like him, and I ended up loving my specialty, especially when I started working with UNDP and could see the joy we brought to people by helping them bring stability to their lives and cities.
Gender quality is important for women. It promotes their self-confidence and emphasizes their important economic, political and educational role in society, in addition to their important role within the family.
I wish the women of Iraq not to say “I cannot!” Just say “I can make the impossible and face all the challenges and difficulties.” And then they will be proud of every achievement they provide to the community and country.
