The Women of Saudi Arabia

The status of women in the middle east is a constant hot topic of debate. According to a few articles, the position of islamic women is frequently misunderstood. However, it is true "that Muslim and Western views of the role of women show sharp cultural differences."
Did you know that...The Holy Qur'an gave women economic and social rights long before such rights were attained by Western women? Sounds surprising-right?
Well, I decided to look up some sites to research a bit more. I found this really interesting one. You get to click on numbers to read the personal views of five women that live in Saudi Arabia. Then try to guess who each person is...
*A human rights campaigner
*A Saudi woman
*An expat from Canada
*A migrant worker from Indonesia
*A businesswoman from Jordan
*Check out this site...
