Under the patronage of the President of Al-Mustaqbal University, Prof. Dr. Hassan Shaker Magdy, and under the supervision of the Director of Scientific and Academic Supervision, Prof. Dr. Muzaffar Sadiq Al-Zuhairi, the Rehabilitation, Employment, and Follow-up Division at the University Presidency is organizing a national forum entitled “Empowering Iraqi Women in the Labour Market and Employment”, under the slogan “From University to the Labour Market: How Can We Create Greater Opportunities for Iraqi Women?”
The forum will host Dr. Ala Talabani, Advisor to the Prime Minister for Iraqi Women's Affairs, and Ms. Dhifaf Al-Jarrah, General Coordinator of the National Iraqi Women's Team, alongside several team members representing different governorates across Iraq.
The forum aims to examine the current state of Iraqi women's participation in the labour market and the challenges they face in accessing employment opportunities. It will also explore ways to expand job prospects for female graduates and strengthen partnerships between academic institutions and relevant organizations. These efforts seek to facilitate women's transition from university education to professional life and enhance their active contribution to community development.
The forum is scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 10:30 a.m., at the University Presidency Hall.
