On 21/8/2025, as part of our organization’s activities within the “Women’s Participation in Elections” project, implemented in cooperation with Women for Women International and supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) — part of the NISSAM project — we conducted a special awareness seminar for women at the Soran Independent Administration.

The purpose of this activity was to raise awareness among women about participating in elections and supporting female candidates.

 On August 21, 2025, a second workshop was held for 21 women in Soran District. The session focused on electoral rights, voting powers, the importance of civic engagement, and strategies for overcoming cultural barriers. Q&A sessions were also held to promote participation and understanding.
