An election campaign poster of a woman candidate, representing political party Gathering of The Iraqi National Project, is seen on a street in Baghdad, January 19, 2009. More than a quarter of the 14,431 candidates registered in Iraq's upcoming provincial council elections are women. But when Fatma Imad, a 20-year-old college student, looks at the posters plastered across her neighbourhood, she doesn't see any that look like her.
