A garment factory in the small town of Bartella - east of Mosul, Iraq - employs some 550 workers; most of whom are women. The town is known by locals as ‘Small Iraq’ because workers from different religions and ethnicities live here. But while a factory of mostly women is a mark of progress, there are still issues. VOA’s Kawa Omar filed this report narrated by Bezhan Hamdard.
