She noted the endemic levels of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), including domestic violence, experienced by over 50% of women in Erbil alone; the inability of Iraqi females to attend 12 full years of formal education, averaging a mere 7 years per capita; and women\u2019s low participation (14%) in the labour market. In addition, the federal government only has three females within its 23- member Cabinet, despite evidence that female participation in policy-making lowers levels of corruption. Such gender-based violence and discriminatory practices collectively heighten social insecurity for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[],"themes":[],"types":[],"languages":[8],"class_list":["post-765","resource","type-resource","status-publish","hentry","languages-lang-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Women in Positions of Leadership: Opportunities for Empowerment&quot; - Search for Common Ground<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/cnxus.org\/the-iraqi-knowledge-sharing-platform\/ar\/resource\/women-in-positions-of-leadership-opportunities-for-empowerment\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"ar_AR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"&quot;Women in Positions of Leadership: Opportunities for Empowerment&quot; - Search for Common Ground\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The best indicator of a nation\u2019s overall security and stability is not its GDP, nor the strength of its democracy, but gender equality.
