Pls google Manal Al Sharif. Mind you women in bedouin communities of Saudi Arabia drive. Why is there no move protecting these women? Are they not QUEENS to? Do they not need to be protected? |

GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL POST....IT SEEMS THE ATTENTION OF THE OTHER POSTERS HAD BEEN DIVERTED FROM THE INJUSTICE THAT IS BEING METED TO THE FEMALE FOLKS IN THE OTHER COUNTRIES LISTED.
WOMEN, LIKE MEN, HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE WITHOUT FEAR OF MOLESTATION OR SUBJUGATION.
I HAIL THE FEMALE FOLKS. MOTHERS OF CREATION....CARRIERS OF LIFE... |

Adebayor1: The image of the 21st century woman is confident, prosperous, glowing with health and beauty. But for many of the 3.3 billion female occupants of our planet, the perks of the cyber age never arrived. As International Women's Day is celebrated today, they continue to feel the age-old lash of violence, repression, isolation, enforced ignorance 70% islamic country and discrimination. "These things are universal," says Taina Bien-Aime, executive director of New York-based Equality Now. "There is not one single country where women can feel absolutely safe." In spite of real progress in women's rights around the globe – better laws, political participation, education and income – the bedrock problems that have dogged women for centuries remain. Even in wealthy countries, there are pockets of private pain where women are unprotected and under attack. Some countries, often the poorest and most conflict-ridden, have a level of violence that makes life unbearable for women. Richer ones may burden them with repressive laws, or sweep the problems of the least advantaged under the carpet. In any country, refugee women are among the most vulnerable. 1 Afghanistan: The average Afghan girl will live to only 45 – one year less than an Afghan male. After three decades of war and religion-based repression, an overwhelming number of women are illiterate. More than half of all brides are under 16, and one woman dies in childbirth every half hour. Domestic violence is so common that 87 per cent of women admit to experiencing it. But more than one million widows are on the streets, often forced into prostitution. Afghanistan is the only country in which the female suicide rate is higher than that of males. 2 Democratic Republic of Congo: In the eastern DRC, a war that claimed more than 3 million lives has ignited again, with women on the front line. Rapes are so brutal and systematic that UN investigators have called them unprecedented. Many victims die; others are infected with HIV and left to look after children alone. Foraging for food and water exposes women to yet more violence. Without money, transport or connections, they have no way of escape. 3 Iraq: The U.S.-led invasion to "liberate" Iraq from Saddam Hussein has imprisoned women in an inferno of sectarian violence that targets women and girls. The literacy rate, once the highest in the Arab world, is now among the lowest as families fear risking kidnapping and rape by sending girls to school. Women who once went out to work stay home. Meanwhile, more than 1 million women have been displaced from their homes, and millions more are unable to earn enough to eat. 4 Nepal: Early marriage and childbirth exhaust the country's malnourished women, and one in 24 will die in pregnancy or childbirth. Daughters who aren't married off may be sold to traffickers before they reach their teens. Widows face extreme abuse and discrimination if they're labelled bokshi, meaning witches. A low-level civil war between government and Maoist rebels has forced rural women into guerrilla groups. 5 Sudan: While Sudanese women have made strides under reformed laws, the plight of those in Darfur, in western Sudan, has worsened. Abduction, rape or forced displacement have destroyed more than 1 million women's lives since 2003. The supporter of APC militias have used systematic rape as a demographic weapon, but access to justice is almost impossible for the female victims of violence. 6 Guatemala: The impoverished female underclass of Guatemala faces domestic violence, rape and the second-highest rate of HIV/AIDS after sub- Saharan Africa. An epidemic of gruesome unsolved murders has left hundreds of women dead, some of their bodies left with hate messages. 7 Mali: One of the world's poorest countries, few women escape the torture of genital mutilation, many are forced into early marriages, and one in 10 dies in pregnancy or childbirth. 8 Pakistan: In the tribal border areas of Pakistan women are gang-raped as punishment for men's crimes. But honour killing is more widespread, and a renewed wave of religious extremism is targeting female politicians, human rights workers and lawyers. 9 Saudi Arabia: Women in Saudi Arabia are treated as lifelong dependents, under the guardianship of a male relative. Deprived of the right to drive a car or mix with men publicly, they are confined to strictly segregated lives on pain of severe punishment. 10 Somalia: In the Somali capital, Mogadishu, a vicious civil war has put women, who were the traditional mainstay of the family, under attack. In a society that has broken down, women are exposed daily to rape, dangerously poor health care for pregnancy, and attack by armed gangs. "While the potential of women is recognized at the international level," says World Health Organization director-general Margaret Chan, "this potential will not be realized until conditions improve – often dramatically – in countries and communities. Too many complex factors, often rooted in social and cultural norms, continue to hinder the ability of women and girls to achieve their potential and benefit from social advances."

I'm afraid you have the biased mind. In Saudi as in all muslim/islamice countries the women are treated like property. The reason they don't drive is because they're not allowed to, same with lots of other things they don't do. I'm sure a lot of the women would probably like to be able to do more for themselves rather than to have to wait for a "man" to take them. tunshe: A list from biased minds!
Placing Saudi Arabia on that list is a very wrong submission. Because Saudi Arabia refuses to allow women mix freely with men? They would have been delisted if they allowed men Bleep women like dogs on streets like here in the US?
A society that caters for women needs, why must a woman drive when male drivers, husband or relatives can take them out when they wish? Is driving a car the priority or getting to your destination?
I see this as a respect to women rather than marginalisation.
Thumbs up to Saudi Arabia for treating women as the most valuable being.
Update
See what majority of Saudi Arabia women think (PLEASE READ);

Misogynist2014: Religion has little to do with this,it mainly depend on societal norm,poverty,war e.t.c.Though I'm a Christian,I know education is free for woMEN in Saudi Arabia and a MAN can be castrated for rape in the Arab world.No qualms! All these things you mentioned are borne out of the religious norms and believe of a society. in these part of the world women are been stoned, molested, subdued, and counted as inferior citizens because the Quaran says so |

Lailerh: Yeah I agree with you on this quite alright but these women were not molested nor were they forced into marriage. They were just not allowed to drive cars. I just think it's not right for Saudi to be listed here Yen yen yen women dnt drive themselves because they are gold, silver and gems nya nya nya... Why are they now allowing women to drive?, has US finally colonise Saudi or what?, or now women are no longer regarded as gems again...mumu people.. Hehehehehehe 1 Like |
