means inspiration to participate. The Kurdish community has always been known
for having very capable women whose role have always been prominent and
important. They have always been the means for the development of our society.”

innovation and scientific achievements in the UK and have received the British

presentation to highlight the different stages of their lives and the obstacles
they have faced during their work. Both said that their resilience and
determination to achieve their goals led them to register

the world. The aim of the two presentations were to encourage and inspire the
Kurdish women and girls in the UK to continue their struggle and advocate for
