An all-female riot police unit is training at the Dohuk police headquarters.
The unit has been established to deal with women suspects in a conservative society where it would be difficult for men to do that job.
STORYLINE:
Shields, helmets and batons in place, the woman are ready for whatever the world throws at them.
At the police headquarters in Dohuk, these 24 officers are in training as a riot unit.
Their main duties: to execute arrest warrants issued against women, escort female suspects to the courts, and to confront protests and riots carried out by women.
The unit will also be deployed in women prisons in the city.
Gulnaz Musa has been working for the police for the past 12 years.
"Instead of a man going to arrest a woman or a female suspect, we must go and arrest her," she says.
"At the same time it gives me the chance to fulfil my duty equally to the men. Our duty is about civil activities and we are always prepared," she says.
A male counterpart is leading the training today.
Dressed in riot uniforms they practise exercises.
The commander of the female riot police is Maj. Hero Abdullah .
"We live in a society that requires women to deal with other women in many activities - whether it was a crime, a demonstration, or any other activities that women have presence in. So, we are here to deal with it woman-to-woman," says Abdullah.
The final part of the training takes places inside the riot police truck, testing their skills on the road.
The unit was formed in April 2019, just after major protests in the region in March 2019 when government employees demanding salary payments that were delayed.
Dohuk is a governorate in the northern Kurdish region of Iraq and borders with Turkey.
