The Women’s Affairs Division at the Presidency of the University of Baghdad, in cooperation with the College of Science and a number of research centers, organized an awareness seminar entitled (Family Cohesion is a Joint Responsibility to Protect the Stability of Iraqi Society) in the presence of the official of the Women’s Affairs Division, teacher Sinai Abboud Al-Hamami and a number of professors and students.
The lecture was delivered by Prof. Dr. um Kulthum Sabih Muhammad from the College of Law at Al-Mustansiriya University, Assistant Lecturer Shams Essam Qassem, a social researcher at the Kadhimiya Court of the Supreme Judicial Council, and teacher Shaima Hussein Abd from the Ministry of Education.
The seminar aimed to shed light on the most important causes of family disintegration leading to divorce, such as domestic violence and the invasion of foreign cultures contrary to the traditions and customs of our society, which led to a lack of understanding and assimilation of young people who are about to marry to assume their new responsibilities, as well as the spread of social media and the change of some moral values that accompanied the emergence of globalization and were a key reason for the disintegration of family cohesion and the increase in divorce cases in society.
