The session was chaired by the committee head, Assistant Professor Dr. Maha Ahmed Ibrahim.

The lecture addressed the participation of women—particularly Mosuli women—in political life and highlighted the importance of their role in decision-making, discussing the challenges they have faced, the opportunities available to them, and the most prominent achievements realized in the fields of political, social, humanitarian, and relief work, among others. The lecture also shed light on the personal experience of the speaker as an inspiring model for Mosuli and Iraqi women alike. Emphasis was placed on the fact that her presence, along with that of other women, contributes to achieving balance and inclusiveness in the democratic process in modern Iraq.
