Demand for gender equality in the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq
15-10-2018
Hadi Ameri, the head of the Iraqi Fatih Coalition, a political alliance founded in 2018, proposed on the Islamic Supreme Council that women share half of its leadership. Ameri, who was speaking Friday during a ceremony held by the Council on its 37th anniversary, said it is an occasion to highlight the challenges that prompted the formation of the council. To recall, the Supreme Council has earlier called for making good use of the positive climate in order to legislate a larger number of bills endorsing the rights and development of women, stressing the importance of conducting comprehensive and scientific statistics on the Iraqi women’s reality. On the other hand, the information office of the assigned prime minister, Adel Abdel Mahdi, announced last Thursday that it has accepted more than 600 out of 15,000 online applications for the position of a minister, noting that females contributed to 15% of these applications.
