Activists protest in Baghdad against a bill introduced to Iraq's parliament which they fear would roll back women's rights and increase underage marriage in the deeply patriarchal society. The bill would allow citizens to choose either religious authorities or the civil judiciary to decide on family affairs, spurring fears this will lead to a slashing of rights in matters of inheritance, divorce and child custody. "This is an exclusionary project that deprives women of their rights and gives them as privileges to men," says protester and legal expert Zainab Jawad. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
