Iraq Launches Social Security Awareness Campaign with ILO

Iraq, in partnership with the ILO and the EU, launched a campaign to promote its Social Security and Pensions Law No. 18. The law, a milestone for Iraq's private sector workers, expands social protection and maternity benefits while addressing informal sector gaps. Labour Minister Ahmed Al-Asadi called it a transformative step towards worker empowerment, urging widespread adoption to boost private sector participation.
