Gender in The Sustainable Development Goals in Kurdistan Region-Iraq

This research will stress the importance of achieving the SDG4
of gender equality as a prerequisite to achieve all the other
SDGs, for instance the relationship of girls or women’s
education background and other development outcomes like
child health and children’s performance at school and its
correlation with their mother’s education background in
Kurdistan region of Iraq. Primary and secondary data will be
used to dive into the girls representation in education and
then use the scale to compare with the rest of Iraq and other
neighboring countries just to get an insight as to how much
progress has been made and how this progress can be scaled
on the international list, then I will attempt to draw a
correlation between mother’s education and their children’s
performances by administering two questionnaires, one for
the teachers and the other one is for those women whose
their children is at school, the sample size will be more than
150 schools which they will be randomly selected all across
Kurdistan Region.
The gender issues according to the available data in KRI
started to improve in 1992 right after the regional
government gained its independence, though after the same
year there were some equality issues, but with continues
efforts by the ministry of education things started to improve.
