Empowering women with disabilities through smart and app-based poultry farming

The Halabja Disabled Organization, based in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, launched the Smart Poultry Farming project in 2022 to empower women with disabilities in rural areas. Women with disabilities were carefully assessed, selected, and provided with comprehensive training in smart poultry management and sensor technology. For example, by using mobile maps, farmers can constantly monitor air temperature and quality, even those who are illiterate. Between 2022 and 2024, 52 farmers were trained and equipped, among them 15 women with disabilities.
