Combating Physical Violence Against Women in Iraqi Kurdistan

Maamoon Mohammed

A central issue to discuss is the role of women's agency in a society characterized by patriarchal structures, in which the social roles of women submit to customary codified tribal systems that naturalize the idea that women are inferior. Through concepts developed in social theory, I discuss different challenges and solutions to violence against women in Iraqi Kurdistan. How can women's organizations contribute to free women from structural violence? What are their aims and objectives? What do they perceive as challenges? With whom do they collaborate? Which factors inhibit female victims in seeking help? In addition to women's organizations, the government is involved in combating violence against women. What are the challenges facing the government in ending the violence? What is impeding government success?
