Hind Abdulrahman is a dedicated professional with over seven years of experience working with International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs), Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Iraq. Through her extensive career, she has gained a profound understanding of the complex social and political landscape in the country. Abdulrahman’s work involves programs focusing on women and Prevention of Violent Extremism in collaboration with civil society organisations across Iraq. Through the course of her work, she has observed the impact of climate change on the conflict situation in Iraq. The consequences, such as resource scarcity and displacement, have led to increased grievances, potentially rendering individuals especially women in Iraq more vulnerable to exploitation. Abdulrahman is particularly drawn to the program’s emphasis on the role of women in conflict and climate contexts, which perfectly aligns with her professional aspirations and personal dedication. Her interest in the Women in Conflict program reflects her commitment to Iraqi women’s rights and empowerment.
