Support for Disabled Iraqis
Iraq Fact of the Day

At a conference in Sulaymaniyah, more than 185 people discussed ways to provide equal access to public facilities for those disabled by years of war, especially from landmine injuries. This National Conference for the Disabled was the third in a series of programs across Iraq designed to improve civic dialogue. This conference is another example of ways that Iraqis remain focused on rebuilding their country despite recent violence.
