The Problems that Face Woman in Supporting Family and Society : An Analytical Study

Abstract

Women have historically faced immense societal pressures، which have escalated into social problems verging on crises، especially those linked to their biological makeup and social roles in family formation. The family، being the primary unit for establishing and building society، is a social and economic entity that collaborates to achieve multiple goals، starting with providing shelter and security accompanied by meeting and satisfying all the essential needs of its members (livelihood، economic، educational، cultural، religious، health، etc).

As the main pillar in building and forming the family، women encounter numerous problems that hinder their ability to perform their biological and social roles، in addition to other roles in contemporary Iraqi society. Our research aims to shed light on these issues.

The research seeks to identify the problems faced by women in supporting the family and the Iraqi society. It will cover various issues، especially those related to supporting the family and society، along with others related to political، legal، economic، social، cultural، and health aspects.

Therefore، the researchers have investigated and explored the most significant obstacles that stand in the way of women in supporting the family and society، whether these problems are related to them or their social environment. These issues have become a concern for researchers and scholars in the humanities in general and sociology of women in particular، with the aim of harnessing women's energies، which represent more than half of the society، to achieve sustainable support and development for the society at large.

The researchers used a descriptive-analytical methodology، which is a combination of two scientific research methodologies: the descriptive and the analytical. The descriptive methodology is the primary approach adopted in the study، assisted by the analytical method to explore the phenomenon or research problem and attempt to find appropriate solutions and ensure the success of the research، especially as the researchers are part of the studied community، making them closer to describing and analyzing the problems that confront women in supporting both the family and the society.
