Tunisian Women Rule!
"Women in Tunisia -- they have more rights than anywhere else in the Arab region and the whole Middle East region. They are allowed to vote, they are allowed to have cars -- not like women in Saudi Arabia. They have rights in the parliament -- more than 25 percent of the lower house of deputies is made up of women."
(and they don't wear head scarves)
I'm glad Tunisia was the first in this wave of revolutions against repressive regimes. They are a wonderful example for the women of all Arabic countries that are seeking a change to Democracy.

If anyone is worried about Tunisia slipping into a radical Islamist type government with Shari'a, I think they can forget about it. These women have long had freedoms that other women still struggle for and I doubt they'll give those those freedoms up to men who seek to repress them.
Long Live the New Tunisia! - 1 year ago
