Can you divide it into 6 parts by drawing precisely 2 straight lines?

Here's one way to do it. All other possible solutions will contain the same orientation of the pair of lines with the crescent (slopes may differ).

It says to divide it into 6 parts, but it did not said 6 equal parts.

This crescent has only 1 axis of symmetry. You cannot divide it into more than two equal parts in any manner. Even I haven't mention the term ’equal parts’ \text{'equal parts'} anywhere in my question.
