Strengthening women in and through football in Iraq & KRI

Strengthening women in and through football in Iraq & KRI (part 2)

We are really happy to get the opportunity to extend our project Strengthening women in and through football in Iraq & KRI. From August 2022 till December 2022 we intensify our contacts and knowledge from the last project (see below). During four month, 15 women from Iraq & KRI will take part in a series of capacity building workshops online. Experts from our international network (Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt etc.) are conducting different workshops around the topics: safeguarding in sports, communication, leadership skills, gender-based violence etc. 

To implement the new leadership skills, the participants have formed small and regional groups to organize women’s football events in their region: From October till December 2022 a total of five „Action Days“ will take place in Maysan, Baghdad, Nineveh, Chanaqin & Duhok where around 50 young women and children are invited to get in touch with football, refereeing, blind soccer and other activities.

Below you can see some impressions from the already past Action days
