Women's rights in light of Iraqi and Egyptian constitutional law A comparative study with international law

Abstract

Women are mothers and wives, they are half the family and half the society, and their sound psychological and mental construction is automatically reflected in building a sound society of their children. Despite this, women have been exposed for years and since the beginning of time and in all parts of the world to injustice, violence, and the deprivation of their abilities and ambitions, along with the systematic theft of their opportunities and success.

Islam came as the first seed of salvation for women, as it did justice to them through its legislation and verses of the Holy Quran, and obligated kindness to them, respect for them, and respect for their rights, and made them equal to men in many fields.

After that, in the modern era, international law came with its texts and laws to do justice to women as well, detailing their rights and duties, imposing respect for them and not abusing them, trying to protect them through a group of different laws and charters whose goal was to ensure the rights, dignity, and respect of women wherever they were.

From these points combined, the research problem emerges, as despite the legislation of Islam, the local civil legislation of all countries of the world, and the charters, declarations and laws of international law, women's rights are still exposed to blatant violations, and women themselves have not been protected by all these legislations from violence, neglect and insults.
