Abstract

The study of social issues is of great importance, as it includes issues from the reality of society. In doing so, this research came to reveal the role of one of the social associations that was characterized by a large and effective role in the Basra Brigade, which was founded in 1946 in the name of the Association for the Protection of Children, the Women’s Section, and continued to practice its activities until 1954, when its work stopped following the suspension of the work of associations and clubs by the Iraqi government. It soon resumed its activities in 1954, the year that was the beginning of the research, while the year 1963 was the conclusion of the research because it witnessed the end of the first republican wisdom in Iraq. The second was the founding of the association’s branch in Basra in 1946, and the third axis came to shed light on the establishment of the association in 1954 and its return to practice its work, and the last axis focused on the most prominent activities of the association.
