Description
Though equality may be a distant reality for many women in Iraq, in Halabja, women have reached top levels of local government. Municipal director and university dean are some of the senior posts held by women in the city of around 115,000 inhabitants. It marks something of a departure for Iraqi Kurdistan, where public affairs have long been dominated by a handful of men. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
