UN HONOURS WORK OF THREE IRAQI WOMEN JOURNALISTSNew York, May 9 2013
10:00AMThree Iraqi women journalists have been
<"http://unami.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=2790&ctl=Details&mid=5079&ItemID=1433172&language=en-US">selected
as the winners of a United Nations contest which seeks to highlight
the everyday challenges faced by women living in the Middle Eastern
country.

The stories submitted by Suha Audah, Enas Jabbar and Shatha al-Shabibi
were selected by an independent panel for their depiction of women's
situation in Iraq.

Suha Audah's article describes the pressure of traditional values on
women practicing sports in Mosul, Enas Jabbar relates the suffering of
women subjected to abduction and Shatha al-Shabibi addresses the
sensitive issue of honour crimes, widespread in traditional Iraqi
society.

"The selection was difficult since the quality of the articles
received was high; most stories portrayed brilliantly the challenges
faced by women in Iraq," said the Secretary-General's Deputy Special
Representative for Political Affairs, Gyorgy Busztin, who was a member
of the jury.

The three winners received their prizes during a special ceremony
organized at the UN Compound on 1 May, as part of a roundtable
discussion on women and media to mark World Press Freedom Day.

Ms. Audah, a freelance journalist from Mosul, highlighted the
importance of such awards for Iraqi women journalists who are facing
several difficulties in their daily work. "Women should be able to
impose themselves," she said. "However, when I claim women's rights,
some people label me as sexist."

The winning stories were anonymously selected by an independent panel
composed of Mr. Busztin, the head of the Public Information Office
(PIO), Eliana Nabaa, the Senior Political Advisor to UN Assistance
Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) and former journalist Hussain Hindawi and the
representative for the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the
Empowerment of Women (UN Women, Frances Guy. May 9 2013 10:00AM
