Discrimination against women in public state institutions is a serious issue that needs to be addressed to create a more just and equal society. It is essential to note that the problem is not limited to the underrepresentation of women in institutions but also concerns the quality of the working environment and how women are treated, which affects their productivity, the quality of their work, and consequently, the performance of institutions. The issue of discrimination in obtaining administrative positions and representation in Iraq is rooted in several factors, including cultural and societal norms, as well as historical and political factors. One of the main causes of this problem is the cultural and societal norms that traditionally favored men over women in terms of access to education, employment, and political representation, leading to a reduced representation of women in leadership positions, including administrative sectors.
