Study: Violence Against Women and Girls in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KR-I): Patterns, Causes, Awareness and Policy Responses
The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence, drivers and manifestations of VAWG, to identify legal, institutional and service gaps and provide evidence-based recommendations for policymakers to formulate informed policies and targeted interventions to combat VAWG, and to civil society and international partners to foster the development of these policies and interventions.
It contributes to the analytical and monitoring work of the Regional Observatory on Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG), hosted by EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI), by generating country-level evidence to support regional advocacy and policy dialogue.
This study is supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) as part of the programme “Strengthening Participation, Peaceful Coexistence and Equality in Iraq” (SPACE), funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
