The Women’s Empowerment Division at the University of Baghdad, in cooperation with a number of research centers, organized a scientific symposium entitled (Hidden Violence and Violence against Women) within the 16-day campaign to combat violence against women and in the presence of a number of university employees and teachers.
The seminar included several events, including the screening of short films on society’s violence against women and women’s violence against women, indicating that women may not only be subjected to violence by men, but even by women, as well as distributing clippings to attendees in which they write about their feelings during the time of watching films that are abused to women and their suggestions for fairness.
In conclusion, the symposium stressed that the Islamic religion is the first and most fair to women and gave them their rights and that violence against women is not a societal phenomenon, but behavioral deviations carried out by the abnormal person, whether a man or a woman, this came on the lips of the lecturers in the symposium, represented by the Faculty of Mass Communication, the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Center for Market Research and Consumer Protection.
