International Women's Day

Celebrating Women's Day is our appreciation to all women around the world. Women who has made tremendous sacrifices and dedicated their lives to adding values to all humanity. We as PBI would like to give special thanks to the Iraqi Woman in particular for her long struggle for freedom, equality and development. Iraqi women have made great contributions to humanity throughout history. Iraqi women had been a dynamic element in the social and cultural development of ancient Mesopotamia. They were poets, artists, religious figures and held many government positions and ruled great empires. Woman in modern Iraq has contributed greatly to Iraq's enlightenment and modernization. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, women in Iraq have participated in all fields of society. Government, sciences, politics and human rights, education, industry and arts. Iraqi women have long fought for freedom and equality, and struggled against dictatorships for decades. During Iraq's long wars and the 13 years of economic sanctions, Iraqi women made the most sacrifices by supporting their families and committing to their national duties. Now Iraq's women are making the deference in the political arena as well as fighting for human rights and participating strongly in Iraq's economic development.
