Arab Women in Gulf Gain Some Rights

Arab women in the Gulf States have made small but notable gains in the past five years, according to a new Freedom House study of women's rights in the region. The nongovernmental organization conducts studies and creates programs to promote freedom and democracy around the world. The report, "Gaining Ground: Women's Rights in the Arab Gulf," updates an earlier one, released in 2005. At a recent conference in Washington, DC, VOA's Julie Taboh spoke with Sanja Kelly, who directed the study, and to women who contributed to the report.

@MrChickybee1 Yeah, that makes sense. Because Westerners force women to cover their heads, and rape them when they don't. Westerners don't allow women to drive, or to testify in court, or to leave the house without a male relative. Westerners make it legal to beat your wife, slice off your infant daughter's clitoris, and kill your teenage daughter for dating the wrong person.

Oh wait...
