A Webinar by the “She Revolution” Group

In light of the spread of the Coronavirus and the institution of home quarantine throughout Iraq, for two weeks and possibly continuing much longer, girls and women bear double burdens these days. They are activists, still engaged in social and political life, especially because of their important roles in the protest movement that aims to change and reform the Iraqi political system. But they are also students trying to learn at a difficult time, employees and workers at various levels, professionals, politicians, and legislators.

And, Iraqi women remain the pillars of our families and the foundation of stability in our homes. Now, this includes additional responsibilities for the health of all family members, making sure that their food and supplies are sterilized and countless other demands that are part of our new daily routines. The Coronavirus epidemic is putting great pressure on all members of our society, but especially on girls and women.
