Copy of the letter from the Presidency of the Diwan of the Presidency of the Republic 9246 on 27 / 9 / 1971
Secret and Personal
To / All Ministries - Special Office
It was decided in the session of the Revolutionary Command Council held on 19 / 9 / 1971 to circulate
the fight against manifestations of effeminacy among your male employees, especially the issue of "Beetles" hair - long
sideburns, and preventing female employees from wearing excessive makeup during official working hours, and holding heads of departments accountable for non-
implementation of this.
Nations that build purposeful plans in all social, military, national, and educational fields
cannot have ambitions like those of the Arabs and their inclination toward unity and gathering the national fragments and adopting educational
formulas that build youth and the generation so that they find hardships easy and find death sweet for the sake of the nation
and the homeland. Iraq, as a country that forms an integral part of the Arab homeland and is considered a fundamental pillar in the national
construction and the hope of the Arab nation in achieving its great goals, the most important of which are Unity, Freedom, and Socialism.
The Revolution in Iraq, which raises these slogans and adopts them in word and deed and continues to practice them every
minute, cannot allow the spread of the phenomenon of automatic blind imitation of the habits of the decadent Western
bourgeoisie and Zionism. For these bad habits and disgraceful behavior in
dress, clothing, effeminacy, lengthening hair and sideburns, excessive makeup, and wearing short and tight clothes
will only lead to the corruption of the generation and are therefore completely contradictory to the goals of the Arab Ba'ath.
And out of our confidence that guidance, advice, and firm monitoring constitute the basic rule for correcting this
deviation, we have great confidence that our sons and daughters will be among the first to respond to this if the
disadvantages of these habits and their contradiction with the national goals of the homeland and with the possibilities of its fateful
battles are explained to them.
And following the method of guidance, advice, and monitoring is better than following the method of direct intervention
through the police.
So we hope to start this immediately, each within the limits of his duty and specialization and within the method
and plan he deems appropriate, whether in the school, college, department, class, factory, office,
or club, and to inform us of anyone who violates your instructions. Officials in sequence will be
subject to evaluation and accountability if some of these phenomena are found in their departments or within the limits of their responsibilities.
Please adhere to the above and implement it with full precision.

Subject / All achievements of the Revolution
The July 17 Revolution came to address internal conditions and alleviate the burden on citizens to restore
to Iraq its bright Arab face and eliminate the social diseases that restricted the people for many years.
Since the early days, it has taken positive and rapid steps to address these diseases and achieved accomplishments
that previous governments failed to realize. Given what we know of the awareness and perception of the educators of the generation
regarding the massive achievements taking place in this country in various aspects of life, and given the historical responsibility
borne by educators in raising the generation of the revolution, each of them must clarify these achievements that have been and are being
carried out by the revolution for their student children. They should seize all opportunities and occasions every day to introduce them to everything
happening in this country of many achievements ⟦which⟧ are being realized by their mighty revolution under the leadership of the struggling President, the Majestic Ahmed Hassan
al-Bakr, and to raise the awareness of our students about the leaders of our revolution, the revolution of the toiling masses, the revolution of unity, freedom, and socialism. And given
what the Minister of Interior noted regarding the lack of awareness of some basic facts among some female teachers, therefore
please follow up on the developments and achievements in this country and convey them to our student children with all honesty and sincerity, and notify
all male and female teachers of this, obtaining their signatures on this letter of ours, and working together to build a
unified socialist society. Thank you.
