See what Arab women are up to... YOUTUBE EXCLUSIVE

What are Arab women up to? Well, every day they're making bold choices. Their participation in the workforce is increasing, and the fields that they are going into are sometimes even groundbreaking.

In this clip, Jordan's Queen Rania is bringing you a few examples of strong independent women from the Middle East.

في كل يوم تتخذ المرأة العربية قرارت جريئة، و تزداد نسبة مشاركتها في سوق العمل، لتنخرط في مجالات كانت في السابق حكرا على الرجال

i like this video too. i get your point. before,there was no option but now there is. you are not saying that women in the middle east are all free. you are saying that slowly but surely progress is being made.hell, i'm black, so i know my choice to be born free did not happen overnight. so, again, great video.

@dunia1969 - "read the Quran, not the Hadieaths, which by the way if you haven't noticed, 98% done by men alone" Dear, unless you are an Islamic scholar, I would advise you to keep your opinions to yourself, there's an entire science dedicated to establishing the authenticity of Hadith. I'd advise that you read a bit before you make outrageous claims.

@R21301 There is no purpose in blue jeans and a leather jacket, it's comfortable and practical there isn't supposed to be a purpose other than to cover your body and keep you warm. You don't have to see everything the west does as evil.

@R21301 Do you wonder why no western women ever copies muslim clothes undless they convert ti Islam but Muslim women copy western clothes whether Islamic or not?

It doesn't impress me that Muslim women are imitating the way non-Muslim women dress. Why not show some sisters in Niqab and hijab working? Why do we have to imitate them in how they look? Imitation is a form of love. You don't see them copying the way we dress, act or speak. I don't think western ways are superior to Islamic ways. Look what both are based on and you will see what I mean. What is the purpose of the Western style of dress for women?

If you read the Jewish Talmud and Shulchan Aruch, you will quickly realize that the undisputed kings of racial hate on this planet are: Jews.

@TheNubian1985 you are ethnocentric and a racist. Why don't you try and educate yourself before you judge the way others live and their cultures. No one culture changes in the same way. Look at works done by those who actually come from which ever Arab culture your investigating. Ignorance only fuels hate and stupidity.
