What is the benefit that you have obtained from participating in Iraqi Women Program Parliamentarians of the Post Elections Democracy Project?

I think we are all benefited greatly from IF's trainings and were lucky to have this program. IF's training started prior to our participation in the CoR and has continued after joining the CoR and becoming parliamentarians. It represented for us all solid foundation to discover and develop our roles as parliamentarians.

What have you learned during the project?

I learned how about the importance of keeping up constituent relations to being a succesful memeber of the CoR.

Do you think that the Iraq Foundation has positively supported the Iraqi society or the local society through this project?

Yes, because IF works for the the good of Iraqi society. Every meeting or trainng session emphasized the importance of representing our local constituencies and the Iraqi society during sessions of the CoR.
