Post #9: Sources didn't give a lot of information....meh


Women’s Rights General Information:
-Women were involved in Tahrir Square, yet they aren’t involved in constitutional reform committee in Egypt
-Libya’s Transitional National Council says that Islamic law=comes first including polygamy

Clinton and Situation in the Middle East:
-Tunisia=2 women appointed in transitional government, Egypt=women shut out of the committees and councils deciding the shape of Egypt’s new democracy
-Data=countries w/ low rights for women suffer economically and politically
-There has been a petition for getting/encouraging a woman to get a female legal expert to help creating the new Egypt government, launched by Egyptian women

This information mainly focuses on the the lack of changes in general when it comes to the Middle East. The second source shows that Hillary Clinton is trying to change this, and that change might be around the corner.
