IRAQ-BAGHDAD-CYCLING EVENT-SECURITY IMPROVEMENT?

Iraqis participate in a cycling event in Baghdad, Iraq, on Feb. 16, 2019. After decades of war and conflicts that tarnished the Iraqi streets, Iraqis held a rare cycling event on Saturday, reflecting the revival of life in the once war-torn city. Many women participated in the event for the first time in an attempt to combat sexism and challenge the traditional norms that prevent Iraqi women from riding bicycles in public.
