As part of our project funded by the EU, we reviewed school textbooks used in Iraq and Kurdistan, from years one through nine, in Arabic and Kurdish. For each book, our textbook reviewers counted the number of times males and females appeared. They also flagged gender inequity and sexism, along with incidences of ableism, animal cruelty, ethnocentrism, nationalism, racism, and glorification of violence. They also noted positive portrayals of diversity and equity. Our textbook reviewers combed through dozens of textbooks, noting not only written references but also illustrations. This result of the data they gathered includes a policy recommendation paper and a scholarly research paper. The name of our textbook reviewers are below:
