Iraqi First Lady and UK's Deputy Head of Mission in Baghdad

Shanaz Ibrahim Ahmed, Iraq's First Lady, met with Rosy Cave, Deputy Head of the UK Mission in Baghdad.

During the meeting at the Salam Palace in Baghdad, Ms. Rozi expressed her concern and condolences to the First Lady regarding the attacks on Erbil province on Monday night, which resulted in the loss of multiple lives.

The discussion centred on the status of women in the country's ongoing developments, specifically the consequences of war, brutality, and subjugation imposed by hostile forces on women.

The First Lady stated, "We will continue to assist the surviving Yazidi women and girls to help them overcome their deep suffering and psychological trauma caused by the extreme agony and injustice they have endured, which is unparalleled in the world."

Ms. Cave expressed her country's willingness to support the overall rehabilitation and reintegration of Iraqi women, particularly Yazidis, into society.

The discussion focused on the causes of the rise in domestic violence and effective strategies for combating it, which poses significant short- and long-term risks to individuals, including physical, economic, and psychological consequences. Furthermore, it prevents women from fully participating in society on an equal basis.
