The role of women's press in prioritizing the concerns of Iraqi women towards public issues

Abstract

Women issues occupy an important place in international and development projects and programs. This is one of the goals of 21 Century announced during universal summit conference in 2000. The goals are : teaching children, reducing the average of the dead, in addition to the main goal which is reducing the poor level in 2015.
The increasing number of countries that adopt democratic policies, economic freedom and openness lead to heighten and develop the role of women in different ways. As a result, many feminism journals have appeared. Since journals help people to make decisions about public issues as well as acquiring new knowledge, it stimulates women to make decisions.
Feminism journalism takes a new trend. It has become specialization. Some deals with domestic life, kitchen, children, defending their lives. Policy plays an important role to stimulate women in participating in political, social, cultural actions especially those which focus on positivism and taking care of issues discussion through two ways: women pages on journals and feminism journals.
