The University Psychological Counseling Division at our university organized a visit to the shrine of the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) in Holy Najaf, with the participation of an assembly of female students from the College of Basic Education for Girls, followed by a visit to the Iraqi Center for Documenting Crimes of Extremism and the Dissolved Ba'ath Party.
The visit to the center included a meeting with its director, Dr. Abbas Atiyah Al-Qurashi, who delivered an awareness lecture addressing the importance of documenting atrocities and recalling past events to ensure they are never forgotten, consolidate societal awareness, and prevent the recurrence of their tragedies or a return to eras of tyranny and oppression.
The head of the media unit at the center, Dr. Alaa Al-Marabi, also provided a detailed presentation on the center's departments and holdings, reviewing prominent events and narratives that document crimes and violations, along with the profound lessons and insights they convey to foster historical and humanitarian consciousness among the female students.
