Iraqi women sit on the bus as they leave the gym after exercises in Diwaniya, Iraq on November 10, 2018. “A woman wrestling is alien to our conservative tribal society”, she said. “The idea is hard to accept. It was so difficult to attract girls and convince their families. I was threatened myself by a brother of a player who verbally abused me and tried to hit me. It is so difficult to bring them to training and return them to their houses”. (Photo by Alaa Al-Marjani/Reuters)
