1. “In conclusion, Iraq stresses its support for all efforts to achieve the economic inclusion of women and their participation in peacebuilding, taking into consideration differences between societies and the need to respect the national policies and priorities of each country. We emphasize positive interaction with various initiatives, in line with our societal reality and pursuant to the outcomes reached among the States Members and main organs of the United Nations.”

2. “Fourthly, pursuant to article 28 of the General Budget Law for the financial year 2021, ministries received instructions to create programmes to empower women in accordance with their needs. Fifthly, the Central Bank of Iraq requires all banks to allocate 25 per cent of soft loans to women heads of families to support their economic projects. My delegation values the role played by the civil society in building and promoting women’s capabilities through empowering them economically and making them aware of human rights and gender equality. We also value the significant role played by UN-Women in supporting Government efforts to promote economic opportunities for women and facilitating their access to the labour market.”

3. “On this occasion, my delegation would like to lay out the most important efforts and achievements of my country’s Government. First, the efforts of the Iraqi Government have enabled 96 Iraqi women to be elected to the Iraqi Parliament, more than half of whom were elected without using the women’s quota set forth in the Iraqi Constitution. Secondly, the Iraqi Government has launched the second national action plan to implement resolution 1325 (2000). Its programmes and activities are being implemented, with a focus on preparing women to be capable and influential in managing negotiations and peacebuilding. Thirdly, as regards the economic empowerment of women, the Iraqi Government launched a second plan for 2021-2022 that includes six pillars, including the financial inclusion of women and capacity-building.”

4. “Ms. Nassrullah (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to congratulate our sisterly country, the United Arab Emirates, on its accession to the presidency of the Security Council for March, and to wish it every success. I would also like to thank the Russian Federation for having successfully guided the work of the Council last month. Today, we all celebrate International Women’s Day as we believe in the important pioneering role and efforts of women in development and all other sectors. My country’s delegation appreciates the sacrifices made by women in all countries of the world, especially Iraqi women working to ensure Iraq’s recovery. We stress women’s rights to use their talents to build their communities and strive to make their dreams come true.”
