    Capt. Christy L. McCutchan, 32, from Dewey Ariz., who is the Iraqi Womens Engagement team coordinator with Detachment 1, Civil Affairs Team 5, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 5, and "Violet," who is the IWE team's interpreter, talk with the Hamed Khalid Abrahim, the mayor of Rawah, Iraq, about what was discussed during the IWE meeting in Rawah, May 31. The Iraqi culture has strict rules about female and male interaction. The IWE team is an all female team that can talk to the Iraqi women. By meeting and discussing living conditions in the city, the Iraqi women can suggest changes they would like to see to coalition forces and their community.
