Description :
Women shouldering the burden of caring for their families alone because their husbands have been killed, arrested, disabled by war injuries, or have gone missing, are struggling with extremely harsh living conditions. The ICRC aids them in their efforts to register with the Iraq's welfare allowance system. Women heading households are also offered grants to start small businesses and become financially self-sufficient.
