Introduction
Although from various lows accomplish in equal the women with man in various fields and remove all kinds of discrimination against the women but these lows cant reached to achieve the women right ,this which assigned by the human development report in1995 "the woman in any society don't take the same rights with the man ".
3-Another report developed in 1996 assigned to the unbalanced growth give the woman a small part in the work development.
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
2 Economical obstacle

Generally the Iraqi woman is in dangerous not because of the situation in Iraq but because the woman in Iraq lack the independent in here own home and in here good work that provide the balance in the social aspect which help in provide the balance in the emotional and psychological aspect which help in develop the ability and built the personality and show the talent
Political and security 3
The Iraqi political situation put the woman in the circular day after day and the political opinion brings to here more troubles and this cost here life and make here faced many threat li8ke here losing here job accuse her with many badly things that's already made against her that's all make her thinking allot before working .
You can say these are the main things that all the Iraqi media women faced in 2005
The Iraqi government:
1. Baghdad:
The woman who work in media seems in good status in spite of the badly security phenomenon and that's point on the essential difference between Baghdad and other Iraqi cities and there are many reason helped in develop the media in the capital like
Positive phenomenon :
The verity in the social and culture and religion aspect
2 The growing the media work and (visible, audible, writable) so that its provide more chances for working
3 The verity training options and its growing in cumulatively way.

The informatory problem assigned to how work in social reality look for women through smallest look used the media against her and that enter the women drain gradually and there believes the man is good in practical live against her and she wait the orders from the man , the man reached to the chair by his working .
Iraq lives today in special changes , all the changes explain face from anther faces challenges . That must replay for all things like arranged the methodical and activities , rights , duties . Justice , equal lest depend on the fixed methodical .
The Iraqi informatory today is exist by anew rules and no administration ways to fixed her and not officials laws and don't have strong refuge , in case of faced problems and troubles in work , she don't have media establishments with right works but her work combined with special establishments combined with some parties, these parties drawing the newspaper political and they want to perform them drawing aids. These political not depend on special and good grammars . The workers looking for anther works that don't obtain simply .
Unemployment problem one from any problems in lraq - women faced this problem in media to day in addition to security situation that influence negative in women movement this the real problem and the first condition faced the women .

What we can presented to Iraqi informatory exactly determine by development her abilities and rehabilitation to use these skilling academically or by practically this is the first step that make the women wanted free region and not limited her in fixed angle and that make the women standing on strong area . Then she can obtain her rights and salary and responsibilities that good for her and no stay in same media angle for reason the leader ability or making decision centre .
Also we want from media improvement woman picture in media and don't use her for advertising as asexual situations.
In establishments this build now to make the woman enter the actual working not only for theoretical and practical working but to take her actual sociality role to serve the society and civilization progress
