Hundreds of women (in Sulaimaniyah) took to the streets to protest fuel shortages. On July 10, many women who had been waiting for fuel in Bakhtyari petrol station poured into nearby streets to fuel shortages. Awaz Ahmad, one of the protestors, told Aso, "It is OK for men to leave the house and queue up at 2 am, but it isn't for women." Sharmn, another protester, said, "Is it fair, despite all of our responsibilities, that we have to come at 5:30 am to wait for fuel and later we don’t even get it?"
