Message of congratulations from the governor of Erbil on International Women's Day

In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

On the occasion of International Women's Day, we warmly congratulate all women in the world and Kurdistan in general and Erbil in particular. Kurdistan women have played a pivotal and influential role in the struggle alongside men throughout the history of our people's liberation movement, and they continue to play a prominent and effective role in the official institutions of the Kurdistan Region today.

Raising the proportion of women in all sectors is a crucial indicator of the promotion of equality ideals in the Kurdistan Region, and I wish them continued success.

On this occasion, we would like to congratulate all governmental and non-governmental organizations, institutions, and individuals who advocate for women's rights.

Once again, Happy International Women's Day!

Salutations and greetings to the souls of all the courageous women who gave their lives for the legitimate rights of the people and the country.

Omed Khoshnaw, Governor of Erbil
