In Iraq there is a special case that directly affected to the woman work (security side)
We notice that all the activations for the ability and the skill ness still go to the man side and the reason is the culture and the same concept about the women and here limited role in the society and the situation of the working women is slightly different from one place to another in Iraq and the situation of the Iraqi women who work in media does not differ from the situation of the other Iraqi women who work in the other fields and always there is overlap in the social ,economical and political and now the security
1- The social obstacle
This represent in the manly authority of the fatherhood that descend from the father to the husband to the work manger when the women progress in age then the elder son will take the father role instead of the husband even when the father still alive sometime all this will limited the space in which she can move and this will reflect on here work and especially the work in the media and the un limited work hours so the possibility of losing is already in here mind and in the mind of here small and big community because she step over her limits that it has been draw to here and if she will success she will be guilty in the opinion of here society toward here family and here marriage and this will stay as an obstacle that’s frustration here in taken over other responsibilities
