The Faked Truth

22 August, 2005

Today I would like to talk about women’s rights in this part of the region, the Middle East. Unfortunately, many of the society sectors are deceived by the slight and margin achievements done by some of Arab women as if by these accomplishments the Arab women have been librated, which is not true. You know why, because the societies themselves are refusing any changes or advancement with regard to the women’s right. If a woman became a member of the parliament, that doesn’t mean that the rest gained their rights.
In some Arab families, the girl is not only under the microscope of the family and the relatives but also under the eye of the neighbors and the whole society. In the majority of Arab society, men can do whatever they want to do but women can’t even think about doing things against the families’ out-dated tradition. What you wear, what you say, what you do, where you go, with whom are you hanging out all are under the rules of our families. I can’t figure out when are going to get our rights? When are we going to be independent? When we are going to be WHAT WE WANT TO BE NOT WHAT OUR TRADITION AND SOCIETY WANT US TO BE? Some Arab girls, my self included, feel that they are living in a prison or a cage where they are obligated to do things they don’t believe in. What a hell. We are paying the cost of living in male-oriented society! What I really what to concentrate on during the next period of my life is to publish papers and conduct studies about the Arab women’ right because as a victim of such stupid handcuffs I want to voice the Arab women’s problems, internets, and ambitions.

Human beings are born to be what they want regardless of gender, religion, and culture.
