Womens right's in the Middle East

Ok, so i have this paper due in my Sociology class. The paper is on Womens Rights in the Middle East. So i thought you all in KMC, being that your all so smart (really you are)could help me with some thoughts. What rights( if any) do women have in the Middle East? I heard maybe Iran, is the only country in the Middle East that give their women the most rights. Anybody know if Iraq's new constitution give women any more right's than before?

They have gotten more rights. Before, they could only divorce their husbands if abuse is witnessed by an authority. Now they can divorce their husband for reasons like being a polygamist. They have voting rights as well, but I can't think of others right now. I'll tell you later if I can find some Iraq stuff.

Let me put it this way:

My dog has more rights than a woman in the Middle East....

This is a good link and pretty much explains it all.

Let me put it this way:

Your dog is more educated than you ..ignorant 😒

when we should debate about the women right in the oriental society , we should take into consideration , the religious , historical and political factor , into consideration
and thats doesn't deny the fact that the society in the middle east and particularly the women should take the long and hard way toward freedom ,put it in your mind that Islam gave the women rights but the problem is traditions (anti-islamic) beliefs ..As for political right most countries are still working in this issue in my country there's 2 female ministers , in Parliament and many major places women compete man and thats really great ..

Prove me wrong about my link. Apart from having two women in parliament, which is a small minority and coming across impressed with women actually competing with men at workplaces, which last time I checked, was a norm in most places in the world there isn't anything else to celebrate about hence the title of the thread.

Ahem.

Since Arab invasion, women have lost a great portion of their rights in the Middle East.
A lot what women could do in Pre-islamic times, can no longer do now.
Furthermore,

Middle Eastern, or rather Persian women were horrified at the Ancient Greeks and later Roman male dominated society. Gender equality was great in Persian empire.
Women of the Pre-islamic middle east did not only equal men but at times ruled them too, and at times, had salery which was twice that of men.

Iran today however, there is a portion of women which are in dentistry, science, medicine and law, but their freedom and equality was lost with Arab invasion.

Isnt Pakistan more of a secular country? I am sure that women their have more rights then other middle eastern countries. What about Azjerban, Turkmenistan, and those other Bans and Stans. Dubai and those places were CEO's go to vacation and play golf.

Are you kidding? It's an Islamic Republic

A friend of mine told me that his old schooling system taught him that 'Islam views women in high respect' which is why all this shit happens. Thus our countries brain-wash the young with their bullshit.

Sex is evil
Sex is a sin
Sins are forgiven
So stick it in!!!

Not really. When Musharaff lead his coup, he said he would run a secular government. He has since found it politically easier to incorporate some Islamic law into the Pakistani government. Hes certainly not as anti-"islamicist" as he once was.

Are you kidding me? Countries with "Islamic Republic" are not always "Islamic" republics.
