In 2019, IOM in cooperation with the Government of Iraq, the Kurdistan Regional Government and other partners celebrated International Women’s Day in Baghdad, Erbil, Dahuk, Mosul, Kerbala, Kirkuk, and Fallujah to raise awareness.

In Baghdad, on 9 March over 300 people came together to recognize the achievements and resilience of Iraqi women. The event was co-organized by IOM – UN Migration and the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) and was supported by the embassies of Australia and Canada, as well as the European Union Delegation in Iraq. The event was held at المحطة – The Station, and gave participants the opportunity to hear the voices of Iraqi women from diverse communities.

We designed an exhibition wall that illustrated the resilience of Iraqi women and their journey towards rebuilding lives through empowerment programmes, combining impactful visuals and compelling storytelling.
