    The USAID/Iraq SEGO Office has drafted a gender analysis to inform the design of its democracy and governance programs, focusing on women's political participation in Iraq amidst challenges stemming from historical conflict and conservative cultural norms. While women's representation in parliament has improved, significant barriers remain, including cultural expectations and legal inconsistencies exacerbated by sectarian laws. The analysis emphasizes the need for targeted U.S. support to enhance women's engagement in politics and governance while addressing systemic gender-based violence and discrimination.
