Women and Social Security in Iraq

Abstract

Abstract The concept of social security has turned into a dream that everyone seeks in most parts of the world, such as the countries of the Middle East, especially Iraq. Due to successive wars and the collapse of political systems one after another, this led to instability, and the concept of social security became a question that everyone tries to answer and search for ways to reach. Therefore, in this research, I studied the concept of social security, its origins and development in the West, as well as the emergence of the concept and how to address it in Islamic countries, and focused on the concept of social security in Iraq. The concept of social security and its related notions to the status of women in Middle Eastern countries were also studied. The comparative analytical method was used to study this concept. The results revealed that the concept of social security has developed significantly to include numerous dimensions and is applied in various fields. The concept has also developed from simply searching for security and safety to laws that are applied in social security.
