Our Mission and Vision

WEO is an independent, non-profit organization that aims to achieve gender equality and women’s fair participation and inclusion in all aspects of life in Iraq. WEO plans to do so by empowering women economically and politically, ending all forms of gender-based violence, and advocating for policy development and reform that addresses gender equality and the national adoption and implementation of international resolutions and conventions.

WEO envisions a peaceful and secure society where gender equality is distinctly reflected in the laws, policies and peace initiatives. Men and women fairly share all economic, political and cultural opportunities and resources and together participate in making decisions and resolving conflicts.
