Women Quotas an Assurance of Equality in Public Institutions

Saraj Ali

This paper proposes several policy alternatives to address discrimination in Iraq’s public institutions, including a quota system, which involves setting a minimum percentage of women in leadership and administrative positions. This system has been implemented in
many countries, such as Rwanda. Additionally, it suggests awareness and training programs aimed at increasing awareness about discrimination and providing training to employees on how to prevent and address it. Allocating fund, especially for programs and
policies that support women’s empowerment and participation, is also recommended.
