Abstract

Empowerment and sustainable human development of women is one of the most dangerous hinges that those in charge of the empowerment process deal with, so that women's efforts are transformed into productive efforts that serve society, and the fruits of this empowerment can be felt by raising their economic level. The development of the slogan of development, its priorities and concepts under the title (Development led by the human element to development for the human element is what the competent departments seek to achieve. In the past two centuries, some achievements have been achieved that are aimed at the development of society. This is monitored through the explosion of economic and technological revolutions that put women as an essential element of economic construction after women suffered from poverty, exploitation and marginalization of their efforts above the ignorance that they used to live through. Masculine societies seek the rise of men at the expense of women in the fields of work. One of the most prominent manifestations that enveloped our eastern societies is the decline in women's education and rehabilitation to enter life. During the beginning of the twenty-first century, women's work witnessed a qualitative leap and their preoccupations within the social fabric. They accounted for 25% -30% living in poverty. The latest reports in Iraqi society indicated that women recorded a poverty rate of about( 75%) in villages and(25% )in cities. Its rise in rural areas is attributed more than in urban areas to the nature of Iraqi society, which is interested in food production. Therefore, we find many competent departments seeking To achieve the economic empowerment of women , the United Nations and its important organizations for human development confirmed that 103 billion people live without work in the world and up to one billion people cannot read and write. According to the same report, Iraq  falls within the statistical data at this level to live more poverty, especially among women, in light of the current situation that lacks strategic plans to empower women and the absence of clear empowerment programs that qualify women in the countryside or the city to become an actual partner in evaluating the economy through the work that suits them through this easy entry. Women can be considered a neglected wealth within the social fabric as they are not economically empowered.
