The seminar aimed to highlight the importance of Iraqi women\u2019s participation in parliamentary elections as a key step in building an inclusive democratic state. The speaker emphasized that strengthening electoral awareness, providing institutional and community support, and addressing political and cultural barriers are essential to empowering women to play an effective role in the electoral process. She stressed that a woman\u2019s vote is not merely a number in the ballot box, but a conscious and free expression of will that contributes to decision-making and shaping the country\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the seminar underscored that women\u2019s participation in elections is a genuine investment in building a fair and balanced society, contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal (5) on gender equality and Goal (16) on peace, justice, and strong institutions, in addition to its direct connection with broader goals promoting social justice, community participation, and inclusive development.<\/p>\n
