The General Secretariat of the Al-Abbas Holy Shrine, in cooperation with the University of Baghdad, held the 11th annual Al-Siddiqa Al-Tahira Cultural Festival, with the participation of more than 1,500 female students wearing the Iraqi abaya, highlighting their pride in their cultural identity and commitment to modesty and chastity.

Ahmed Al-Yasiri, Head of the Public Relations Unit in the University and School Relations Division of the Al-Kafeel Youth Project, explained that the festival is held annually under the supervision of the Al-Abbas Holy Shrine's Public Relations Department. This year's event included honoring more than 1,500 female students in recognition of their commitment to hijab and Islamic values.

He added that the festival seeks to support female students who uphold Islamic principles and transform religious occasions into cultural and awareness initiatives inspired by the life of Lady Fatima Al-Zahra (peace be upon her), highlighting her values of chastity, dignity, and awareness as a role model for Muslim women in all areas of life.
