The emancipation of Iraqi women from all the backward bonds of the past in the times of darkness and tyranny was one of the main goals of the Iraqi state after the July Revolution. As women represent half the society and if they aren't free and aware and educated then half the public will remain underdeveloped and fettered , and any isolation of the woman or decreasing of her complete contribution in the society will deprive the nation from half its offspring and from half its mental and productive capacities , in addition to that , liberating the woman is a central base for raising the new generation and bearing their responsibilities.
