Abstract
Women in Iraq are still acquiring equality and equity in various aspects of their personal and professional lives. Hence, it is essential to identify factors that influence their education, emphasizing equity as it fulfills lives with strength, success, and prosperity. This chapter presents key challenges that impede a prosperous educational climate that is fair among genders. The chapter presents cultural, economic, social barriers, and pushbacks against women's education in Iraq, the overall impact of education decline, among other factors that reduce equity for women. The author then presents various solutions and recommendations based on an analytical evaluation to achieve education access, equality, and equity for Iraqi women. The chapter calls to develop effective policies and programs that target the identified cultural, societal, and infrastructure obstacles to help improve women's education in Iraq and assure equality and equity.

Applications of Augmented Reality in Industrial Unit Processes
Improvement refers to the process of making something better or more effective than its previous state. It involves identifying areas or aspects that can be enhanced, implementing changes or modifications, and measuring progress towards desired outcomes. Improvement can occur in various contexts, including personal development, professional growth, organisational performance, product quality, and service delivery. It may entail refining processes, upgrading technologies, acquiring new skills, adopting best practices, or innovating solutions to address deficiencies or meet evolving needs. Continuous improvement, often associated with methodologies like Lean or Six Sigma, emphasises ongoing efforts to incrementally enhance efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness over time. The pursuit of improvement is essential for driving progress, achieving excellence, and adapting to changing circumstances or expectations.
