A scientific seminar entitled “Forms of Violence Against Women” was held under the patronage of the President of the University of Kirkuk, Professor Dr. Imran Jamal Hassan, and under the supervision of the Dean of the College of Basic Education, Assistant Professor Dr. Ali Hussein Ali. The seminar was organized by the Women’s Affairs Unit in cooperation with the Continuing Education Division and delivered by Assistant Lecturer Maryam Kareem Saeed.
This seminar comes within the framework of academic and societal efforts aimed at shedding light on one of the most prominent humanitarian and social issues that touches the core of human dignity and human rights.
Violence against women is neither a transient nor a limited phenomenon; rather, it is a global issue deeply rooted in many societies. It takes multiple and diverse forms, beginning with physical violence, which leaves visible marks on the body, passing through psychological violence, which may be more severe due to the profound internal harm it causes, and extending to economic and social violence, which restricts women’s freedom and limits their independence and active role in society.
