The Social Challenges Facing Iraq’s children: An Analytical Social Study
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Iraqi childhood has gone through many challenges engendered by social fluctuations Iraq has witnessed. The study aims to identify and reveal the challenges facing Iraqi children in the last three decades. Adopting the descriptive analytical method, the study concludes certain important findings which are:
- There is a large space for children’s rights in international conventions and a serious interest in the care and protection of children in all societies.
- Iraqi children suffer from various social problems as well as psychological ones.
- Weakness of the state's interest of children in Iraq—a matter that increases their suffering in adjusting the bad conditions experienced by their families, especially those who suffer from the problems of poverty, destitution and loss of breadwinner.
