#Egypt needs a revolution against #sexual_violence
In November 2011, after I joined a protest on Mohamed Mahmoud Street in Cairo with a friend, Egyptian riot police beat me – breaking my left arm and right hand – and sexually assaulted me. I was also detained by the interior minister and military intelligence for 12 hours.
After I was released, it took all I had not to cry when I saw the look on the face of a very kind woman I'd never met before, except on Twitter, who came to pick me up and take me to the emergency room for medical attention. (She is now a cherished friend.)
As I described to the female triage nurse what had had happened to me, she stopped at "and they sexually assaulted me" to ask:
how could you let them do that to you? Why didn't you resist?
I've been thinking a lot about that exchange with the nurse. Whenever I read the ghastly toll of how many women were sexually assaulted during last week's protests against Mohamed Morsi in Tahrir Square, I have to wonder about such harshness after brutality.
Activists with grassroots groups on the ground who intervene to extricate women from sexual violence in Tahrir said they documented more than 100 cases; several were mob assaults, several requiring medical attention. One woman was raped with a sharp object. I hope none was asked "why didn't you resist?"
This isn't an essay on how Egyptian regimes like Mubarak's targeted female activists and journalists as a political ploy. Nor is it about how regimes like Morsi's largely ignored sexual violence, and even when it did acknowledge it, blamed women for bringing assaults upon themselves. Nor is it an article about how such assaults and such refusal to hold anyone accountable have given a green light to our abusers that women's bodies are fair game. Nor will I tell you that – were it not for the silence and denial surrounding sexual assault in Egypt – such assaults would not be enacted so frequently on women's bodies on the Egyptian streets.
I don't know who is behind those mob assaults in Tahrir, but I do know that they would not attack women if they didn't know they would get away with it and that the women would always be asked "why didn't you resist?"
From the ground up, we need a national campaign against sexual violence in Egypt. It must push whoever we elect to govern Egypt next, as well as our legislators, to take sexual assaults more seriously.
If our next president chooses – as Morsi did – to address the nation from a stage in Tahrir Square for the inauguration, let him (or her) salute the women who turned out in their thousands upon thousands in that same square, knowing they risked assaults and yet refusing to be pushed out of public space. The square's name literally means "liberation", and it will be those women who, in spite of the risk of sexual violence, will have helped to enable his (or her) presence there as the new president of Egypt.
Undoubtedly, the Egyptian interior ministry needs reform, especially when it comes to how it deals with sexual assault. The police rarely, if ever, intervene, or make arrests, or press charges. It was, after all, the riot police themselves who assaulted me. Their supervising officer even threatened me with gang rape as his conscripts continued their assault of me in front of him.
--> Any woman who ends up in the ER room deserves much better than "why didn't you resist?" Nurses and doctors need training in how best to care for survivors of sexual assault and how to gather evidence.Female police units are said to have been introduced at various precincts, but they need training. They also need rape kits – in the unlikely event any woman actually gathers herself enough to report rape in Egypt. When I was reporting on sexual violence in Cairo in the 1990s, several psychiatrists told me their offices were the preferred destination for women who had survived sexual violence, be it at home or on the streets, because they feared being violated again in police stations.
While that fear is still justifiable today, something has begun to change: more and more women are willing to go public to recount their assaults. I salute those women's courage, but I wonder where they find comfort and support after their retelling is over. PTSD therapy is not readily available in Egypt. We need to train more of our counsellors to offer it to those who want it.
We need to recruit popular football and music stars in advertising campaigns: huge, presidential election campaign style billboards across bridges and buildings – addressing men with clear anti-sexual violence messages, for example – as well as television and radio spots. Culture itself has a role to play in changing this culture: puppet theatre and other arts indigenous to Egypt can help break the taboo of speaking out; and we need more TV shows and films that tackle sexual assaults in their storylines.
There is an innate and burning desire for justice in Egypt. Revolutions will do that. We need to coordinate efforts and aim high to ensure such a campaign meets the needs of girls and women across the country, not just Cairo and the big cities.
In January 2012, I spent a few days with a fierce 13-year-old girl we'll call Yasmine, for a documentary film, on which I was a writer, called Girl Rising. The film paired nine female writers with girls each from their country of birth whose stories they recounted to illustrate the importance of girls' education.
Five months before we met, Yasmine had survived a rape. My arms were still broken and in casts when we met and I naively considered removing the casts and pretending I was OK in order to "protect her". I did not want her to think that 30 years down the line, at my age, she could still be subject to such violation.
She certainly did not need my protection and I'm glad I kept my casts on, because as soon as we met, she simply and forthrightly told me:
I'm going to open my heart to you and you're going to open your heart to me, OK?
She then went on to recount what happened to her. I admired her courage and her insistence on going to the police with her mother to report the rape. She was lucky she found an understanding police officer who took her complaint seriously.
When I told her what had happened to me, she was shocked that it was police who'd attacked me. "Have you reported what happened to you? Have you taken them to court?" she asked me.
Yasmine has not had a single day of formal education. She believed she deserved justice. We all do.

Domestic violence in Saudi Arabia made headlines worldwide
domestic violence in Saudi Arabia made headlines worldwide
Saudi Arabia, a country not exactly known for progressive attitudes
toward women, has launched its first major campaign against domestic
violence — its latest effort to embrace, at least superficially, some women’s rights reforms.
The ads in the “No More Abuse” campaign show a woman in a dark veil
with one black eye. The English version reads “some things can’t be
covered.” The Arabic version, according to Foreign Policy‘s David Kenner, translates roughly as “the tip of the iceberg.” A Web site for the campaign includes a report on reducing domestic violence and emergency resources for victims.
The Saudi government has begun to address the problem, at least in
name. In 2008, a prime ministerial decree ordered the expansion of
“social protection units,” its version of women’s shelters, in several
large cities, and ordered the government to draft a national strategy to
deal with domestic violence, according to the United Nations.
Several royal foundations, including the King Abdulaziz Center for
National Dialogue and the King Khalid Foundation, have also led
education and awareness efforts.
None of this changes the fact, of course, that Saudi Arabia remains an often difficult place to be a woman. The World Economic Forum ranks the country 131st out of 135 for its record on women’s rights, citing a total lack of political and economic empowerment.
The country has a strong record on women’s health and education, however: On metrics such as enrollment in higher education, Saudi Arabia actually scores well above the global average.
Some of those well-educated women are leading the fight against domestic violence now. Maha Almuneef,
a pediatrician, directs the National Family Safety Program, an
anti-violence effort that has also benefited from the patronage of Saudi
Arabia’s Princess Adela.
“Reporting violence and abuse should be compulsory, and there should be a witness protection program,” Adela said at a 2009 conference on ending the country’s domestic abus

الجنس في مجتمعنا " الشرقي " و نظرة الناس المزدوجة ليه
الجنس في مجتمعنا " الشرقي " و نظرة الناس المزدوجة ليه
الجنس هو أقصى درجة من ممارسة الحب بين الاحباء فيعتبره أغلب الرجال شيئا عظيما
و في نفس الوقت إذا أراد أحدهم إهانة شخص ما وصفه بألفاظ جنسية هو أو أمه
أو زوجته و كأن الفعل الجنسي هنا إهانة أو ازدراء لا معنى عظيم للحب
إذا وجد الرجل في شريكته درجة ما من المعرفة الجنسية أو التجاوب الجنسي اعتبرها " شمال " و شك في أخلاقها
و إن وجد فيها جهلا أو عدم تجاوب اعتبرها " باردة " و غير مؤهلة لممارسة الحب معه ..
البنت تربى طول عمرها إن عيب تكلم الولاد أو تختلط بيهم .. الرجال جميعا
أشرار و في نفس الوقت نطلب منها مرة واحدة أن تتعرى و تمارس الجنس مع زوجها
الذي ربما لم تعرفه بالقدر الكافي و ربما يختلط لديها مفهوم الفضيلة فيخلق
لديها مفهوم سلبي عن الجنس و مقاومة لا إرادية حتى مع زوجها
هي لا تعرف هل الجنس عيبا أو حراما أو مصدرا للسعادة
هي لا تعرف هل جسدها مصدر للنشوة أو الازدراء
هذه الازدواجية في مفهوم الرجال عن الجنس تجعل المرأة في حيرة في التعامل مع هذه الغريزة الراقية

Brides Bought, Sold and Resold
With millions more men than women in India, many wonder about the state of bachelorhood in India.
The gender ratio keeps plummeting, and you don’t have communities going into panic saying “We need to find a woman for sex and reproduction!!” Why is this economic/ “women as commodity” theory not working out the way it was assumed it would?
Perhaps because Indian men indeed view women as “commodity!” And since there is a shortage of “female commodity” the users have found other methods of procuring women! They are now BUYING, SELLING, AND RECYCLING! It is another response to “commodity shortage”, and is essentially the Indian version of DOMESTIC SEX-TRAFFICKING. This is a practice in India that is as old as female gendercide, and there are reports that it existed even as early as the 1900s. Only now, with plummeting gender ratios, the practice is out in the open and increasing rapidly. It is often referred to as ‘BRIDE-TRAFFICKING.’
Much of this sex-trafficking is in the guise of ‘marriage.’ Each family, community and people involved call it a ‘marriage.’ The girl or woman is sold as a ‘bride’ to a man. She may be married to one man in a family but is used for sex and reproduction by the other men within the same family. She is then re-sold again as a ‘bride’ to another family. Some women are sold and resold up to four times, and there are indications that there are thousands of such ‘brides’ being trafficked in the name of ‘marriage.’ Most of these girls are 15 years or younger and often kidnapped and sold into “bride-trafficking”.
Government officials explain their lack of action against this form of sex-trafficking with, “”If they are legally wedded, what can we do.”
However, from many rural areas, families will often sell their daughters to a commercial “agent” for as little as U.K. £15
There is one report of a man beheading his “bought” wife for refusing to sleep with his brothers.
Munni who was forced to have sex with her husbands brothers, has had three sons from them. It is interesting that all her children are boys, no girls. It is believed that there may be many more women like Munni in the region. Here is Munni’s story in her words:
“My husband and his parents
said I had to share myself with his brothers…
They took me whenever they wanted – day or night.
When I resisted, they beat me with
anything at hand…Sometimes they threw me
out and made me sleep outside or they poured kerosene over
me and burned me.”

ما بين الفخذين.. sexual_Harassment# #Sexual_violence
كلام بنت مقهورة من المعرصين الباردين الى اسمهم رجالة وهما اقل كتير من معنى الكلامة
الآتي هو في الحقيقة كلام قبيح و عيب وخادش للحياء.. قد يكون محظور لبعض منكم.. ولذلك.. إذا قررت أن تقرأ ..إقرأ على مسؤليتك..
العاشرة صباحاً.. يوم الجمعة..
كم هي جميلة شوارع القاهرة في الشتاء.. في الصباح.. الناس نياماً.. معظم المحلات مغلقة.. العصافير تتحرك بحرية أكبر.. فليس هناك من ينافسها في المساحات..
فستاني زهري اللون طويل وفضفاض.. وملفوف على خصري حزامه الأبيض الرقيق.. وحذائي بسيط متواضع لا يحب أن يعلو عن الأرض بأكثر من عدة سنتيمترات.. وإيشاربي أبيض بياض اللبن..
انحنيت لأزيح قشرة الموز التي تركها أحدهم على الأرض خوفاً من أن تؤذي أحدا.. ضربني أحدهم على مؤخرتي.. لم أفهم.. شعرت بالإهانة والإحراج.. فوراً استقمت وتفحصت الأشخاص حولي في ذعر.. رأيته على عجلته يضحك ويشاور بيده وقال بصوت عال "لا تمام..تمام .. جامدة بصراحة".. ورحل..
رأيت عدة أشخاص ينظرون إلى ما حدث ببرود.. بسلبية.. نظرت إلى كل منهم في عينيه.. هناك من كان يكتم ضحكته وهناك من استدار بنظره عني..
عدت فوراً إلى المنزل أشعر بالإشمئزاز من نفسي..أكتم دمعاتي.. أشعر بالضعف.. اشعر أنني مهانة.. مُستخدمة.. نظرت إلى ملابسي في المرآه.. لم يكن هناك شيئاً مستفز.. لم يكن هناك شيئاً مثير..
انتظرت أبي ليستيقظ لأروي له ما حدث.. وقد كان..
رد علي: "أيه منزلك لوحدك الجمعة الصبح؟ والشوارع بتبقى فاضية؟ ما هو لو كان معاكي راجل لما جرؤ على ده..كام مرة أقول مافيش نزول لوحدك! استحملي بقى وما تشتكيش.. خليهم يقفشوا فيكي.. شكلك بقيتي بتتبسطي بده!"
آلمني رد والدي أكثر من الحدث نفسه.. شعرت بأنه أجرم في حقي أكثر من هذا الشاب الذي ضربني.. شعرت وكأن كلاهما وجهين لعملة واحدة.. الذكورية.. هل أحتاج رجل كلما وطأت قدمي الشارع فعلاً؟ حسناً..!
يوم الأحد.. خرجت من محطة المترو وترجلت المسافة الباقية لمقر العمل.. وقف هناك رجل عربة "الفول" يبسبس لي وكأنني قطته المنزلية.. آثرت ألا أنظر إليه علّه يتوقف.. لم يتوقف.. وبدأ في الغناء "ياما نفسي أركب الحنطور واتحنطر.. اتحنطر آه"
بدأت الدماء تجري في عروقي.. تغلي.. هذا الحيوان يقصدني.. يقصد إهانتي.. نظرت إليه نظرات غاضبة.. مليئة بالشرارة.. ولكني لم أجد في وجهه حياء.. فقط هذه الإبتسامة المتسعة الحمقاء.. وكأنه كان سعيد برؤيتي مغتاظة.. تذكرت كلمات أبي.. أنه ليس يوم الجمعة.. والشارع ليس خال بل مكتظ جداً.. أنا لست وحدي بل محاطة بالعشرات من أصحاب الشنبات.. وملابسي جيدة وواسعة ولكن لم يمنعه ذلك من مضايقتي..
استرسل رجل الفول وقال: ياما نفسي امسكهم! آه يانا.. يا رب اوعدنا.."
لم أتمالك أعصابي.. توجهت إليه فوراً وقلت له " انت بتكلم مين أنا عايزة أفهم"؟
اتسعت عيناه من الذهول وقال: "هو انا جيت جنبك.. ايه تلقيح الجتت ده على الصبح!"
قلت: "انت هتستهبل أومال مين اللي منزلش عينه من علي وعمال يغني ويقول كلام قذر"
قال: وانتي بتاخديه على نفسك ليه! شكلك عايزة كده بقى.. بقولك ايه.. اصطبحي وقولي يا صبح!
كان الرجال حوله جميعهم في صفه.. و اثنين أو ثلاثة ربما قاموا بدور "المطيباتية"! خلاص يا آنسة.. ماتبهدليش نفسك..
رحلت عنه وأنا أشعر بالحماقة أنني أهنت نفسي مرة ثاني.. كنت أشعر بالغضب منهم جميعاً.. رجل العجلة.. أبي.. رجل الفول.. وكل الرجال الذين شهدوا هذه المواقف ولم يتحرك لهم ساكن!
مر يوم العمل على بصعوبة وأنا أفكر ماذا سأفعل.. كيف أثأر لنفسي.. وقررت..
في الصباح الباكر.. حضرت نفسي.. ارتديت بنطلوناً وغطيت نفسي جيداً استعداداً لما قد يحدث.. أخذت معداتي وانطلقت..
في نفس الطريق.. نفس الميعاد.. كان نفس الرجل.. يبسبس مرة أخرى.. فنظرت إليه وابتسمت .. فصفق بكلتا يديه قال :ايوه بقى هو ده الكلام "
فرفعت حاجبي.. واتخذت ركنا قريباً منه وجلست وأنا مسمرة نظري عليه..
استغرب هو.. أمطرني بوابل من التعليقات القذرة والسخيفة.. وأنا لا أتحرك.. أضحك وأراقبه بتفحص.. أخرجت تليفوني المحمول.. وبدأت تصويره بالفيديو.. وركزت نظري على جزئه السفلي المستتر تحت بنطلونه.... كان الجميع ينظر إلى باستغراب أيضاً.. معظمهم لاحظ على ماذا أنظر..عايزة ولا ايه"
بدأ يتوافد علي الرجال.. من يهمس في أذني ويقول لي .. شكلك بنت ناس عيب اللي بتعمليه ده.. يا انسه انتي هتنزلي لمستوى راجل بتاع فول بردو.. يا عيني عالاخلاق ده مافيش حياء خالص يا جدع! فين بنات زمان!
تعددت التعليقات.. لم يسألني أحدهم ماذا أفعل أو لماذا أفعل ذلك.. كل كان يرمي تعليقه ويرحل.. لم يقل له أحد لا يصح أن تفعل ذلك.. دائماً انا الفتاة هي المخطئة..
بالرغم من تعليقاتهم كنت مصّرة على قراري.. لم أتراجع..
أكملت تصوير .. والرجل يسبني.. ثم شعرت به بدأ يشعر بالإحراج.. ربما الغيظ.. ابتسامتي لم تفارق وجهي.. وهو بدأ يغضب.. بدأ يحرك جسده عكس مكان جلوسي فاستدرت وذهبت لأصوره أيضاً.. ثم لمحت نظرات التحدي على وجهه وكأنه يقول.. ستدفعين الثمن أو من الآخر "أنا هاعرفك آخرك فين".. حاول إحراجي.. فلمس جزيه السفلي وهو يغمز لي محاولاً أن إستفزازي. كان يتحداني...
برغم الإشمئزاز والقرف لم أتحرك.. كنت أصور ذلك أيضاً..
لكن أرسلت الفيديو فوراً على بريدي الإلكتروني ووضعت الهاتف في حقيبتي..
وعدت إلى مكان جلوسي.. نفس الإبتسامة المستفزة.. مركزة نظري على جزئه السفلي..
قال وقد ترك ما في يده بكل الغضب: "بتعملي ايه با بنت ال*****.. أنت صورتي مين.. امشي من هنا يا روح امك بدل ما امد ايدي عليكي..
قلت له: اعتذر عما قلت أمس.. أنت فعلت بي ما فعلته بك الآن.. حسيت بإيه وأنت متراقب؟ حسيت بإيه وانت مختصر في عضوك الجنسي؟ حسيت إنك محترم؟ كل يوم تسّمعني كلام وتضحك؟ مابتضحكش دلوقتي ليه؟
قال: انا ماجيتش ناحيتها يا جدعان..
قلت: وأنا بردو ماجيتش ناحيتك..
قال: بت انتي بقولك ايه.. توجه إلى وقد هم على ضربي.. بدأ الناس في التوافد علينا.. من يقول بس يا عم في ايه.. هتمد ايدك على بنت..
قلت بشجاعة: تعالى اضربني لو تقدر أنا هاحطك في السجن يا ****..
هم فعلاً على بالضرب.. ضربني على وجهي بمنتهى القوة.. فبدأ الناس في تكبيله.. وجاءت بعض النساء مهرولة عندما سمعوا صراخي..
قلت لهم: الراجل ده ضربني وأنا عايزة أخدوا على القسم.. كنت أعلم جيداً أنني أحتاج تعاطف الناس لآخذ حقي.. وأعلم أن الضرب جريمة يفهمها المجتمع.. أما التحرش لا!
وفعلاً توجهنا إلى القسم.. أتى معي 3 شباب مكبلين الرجل..
هناك أدليت بشهادتي.. وحررت محضر بالضرب.. وقلت فيه أنني عندما صورته وهو يفعل هذه الإشارات القذرة حاول التهجم علي ليأخذ التليفون.. هذ الرجل يتحرش بي كل يوم.. واليوم قررت تصويره.. أخذوا الرجل على الحبس وقد استكان وهدأت ملامحه الآن.. وقد بدت عليه ملامح الفقير المحروم الغلبان على باب الله الذي يبكي ويستغيث من ظلمي له!
و لكن من يسلب حقي في الحرية يستحق أن يُسلب حقه في الحرية أيضاً..
اليوم اشعر أنني حرة..
أشعر أنني قوية..
ضربة اليوم كانت لي عزة.. أما ضربة الأمس كانت لي درساً..
درساً علمني لمن أوجه أصابع الإتهام.. وعلمني أن الحقوق تنتزع ولا تطلب.. فمن يجعل ما بين فخذيه سيده.. سيؤول به الحال عبداً!
** 80% من أحداث القصة حقيقية
_ آلمني أن يُسب أبي من كثير منكم, ولذلك أردت أن أوضح أن شخصية الأب في القصة وهمية.. في الحقيقة أبي رجل مهذب يحظى باحترام الجميع وهو من ساندني لأزج بمن تحرش بي في السجن. فقط كنت أوضح ما تمر به نساءنا وهو ما أكدته رسائلكم لي من خلال شخصية الأب.. فهذه هي الردود التي تسمعها الفتاة حينما تبوح بألمها.

#yemen Smaller absolute In The world
Smaller absolute in the world facing her father to recover her money and save her sister
seems to be still a long way to go before the Yemeni girl, Nujood Ahdal , before they turn her dreams and reality to it.
After having gained fame after extracted the right of divorce from a
husband associated with him against her will in the eight-year-old, Nujood
finds itself again facing difficult circumstances with her father,
who put his hand on the money, and began planning to marry her baby
sister.
Between her dream of becoming a lawyer defending the oppressed, press
or pursue their rights, became Highlands - which has gained the title of
the world's smallest absolute after they received the dislocation at
the age of nine - in the heart of the new suffering, restore her father entered it.
The girl, who won the "Woman of the Year" in 2008 to become a symbol of
all Yemeni in addressing early marriage, spoke to Mendoah site in Sanaa, she suffers today from beating her father to her and
her sisters and her mother, after laying his hand on the full monthly
amount which was received from the proceeds of selling novel written
about Amabadtha caused by forcing them to marry.
Highlands lost money in the hands of her father
Nujood says, French publishing house that issued the novel
translated into 19 languages for their suffering, had been allocated a
$ thousand dollars per month, in addition to providing a two-story
house, securing education expenses.
But her father put his hand on the funds allocated to it, making it a material of living is very difficult.
She explains Nujood story, saying: "The father rented an apartment and
shop on the first floor of the house, and combines it rents and puts it
on his wives, and when I took Rent months to pay electricity and water
bills so as not to separate us, shouted Ali and almost hit me .. was
give me five thousand riyals ( about $ 25) then declined, and now my
mother and my brothers live in difficult circumstances, because he spent
on his wives, but I Voaich in my brother's house. "
She added: "I left home in search of safety from the screams and
beatings that usually renewed when visiting my parents for the house,
because he wants to output my mother and brothers of the house and
soothe his wives."
She noted that the proceeds of the book up to her father's account, and
spend it as he pleases, and said: "I have divorced one of his wives and
marry another last year, and is now spent on his second and third wife
.. But we have God."
Highlands: I no longer suffer only to my mother and my sister
And stresses the Highlands, which at the age of now 14 years, they are
no longer hurting itself but "feared for her mother," and the fate of
her sister small, Haifa, which at the age of now 13 years old, and wants
her father to marry the brother of his wife last, which rejects
Highlands .
Nujood says: "I support my sister not to marry, because I realized the
existence of a legal age for marriage, and I do not like that tormented
my sister like me."
And reveal Highlands, which preoccupied her story of millions around
the world, all over the threat, saying: "miss my father when his wives
for weeks and when it comes to home starts beating and problems, on one
occasion Okhava Boukngerh .. my sister Haifa was forced to flee and
resort to a uncles for two months, but returned home beyond because of
increasing problems with my father and beat him for my mother. "
And conditions left to the school says Nujood, depriving her father of
allocations for education, along with tense security situation during
the recent demonstrations, and particularly measles region near the
house, prevented the continuation of the study.
Also reported that it had received threats from a particular phone
number, and had been prosecuted on one occasion when she returned from
school, "which scared me in the absence of support me to achieve my
ambition to return to school," according to the Highlands.
But Nujood still sticking to achieve the dream of educational
attainment, she says: "I wish to travel out of Yemen, and go make me
strong testimony to my father and in front of everyone."
Nujood lacks efforts lawyer
In the absence of a lawyer Shaza Nasser, which helped the art of legal
battle and shared her award "Woman of the Year" "study abroad", did not
find the boys Yemeni choice but to human rights activist Abdel-Alim
Hamidi, who helped her to get ownership documents her home, as well as
to extract passport.
Says Hamidi, who attended the meeting between CNN Arabic and Highlands,
the latter facing many social problems, especially in light of the case
of "ignorance and intolerance", which controls the case and their
relationship with her family.
Nujood's father: boy and owned the right of the father
For his part, denied the father Nujood accusations by the daughter over
placing his hand on the money and use it to link to the wives are new,
and the attempt to coerce her younger sister for marriage.
Ali al-Ahdal for CNN Arabic: "I married my own money, I also borrowed
from the people, and did not stretch out my hand to my daughter's
money."
Ahdal reported that actually receive $ 900 out of thousand dollars
Publishing House had pledged a month, and denied that he had acquired
the full amount.
He said that amount is subject to the sharing, you get Nujood $ 500 of
it, and the return of apartment and rental shop on the ground floor of
the house back to them and to her mother.
Ahdal already acknowledged his desire to marry off his daughter Haifa,
Nujood's younger sister, stressing that it already received her dowry,
the amount of 500 thousand riyals (more than $ 2,300) from a man who
Bouktabtha, "and was the disbursement of the whole family," he said.
He said: "I have the consent of the girl Haifa, her mother and her big
brother Mohammad, a condition of this pony," he said, adding that if the
family refused Haifa marriage, they should re-dowry that Qdoh.
Ahdal said he still pays 25 thousand riyals (116 dollars) rent the great house of his son Mohammed.
He argued: "The boy and have a king to his father .. or are they want Mkasemta in my children?"
By Nujood is still a long
And it seems, is still a long way to go Nujood to overcome the
difficulties and achieve her dream, as it became clear that the access
to freedom of divorce of man Ivegaha was various types of physical and
psychological torment, what is the beginning of a journey of a thousand
miles.

#ksa Saudi Arabia: poverty, tyranny and congestion .. and "vices under the veil"
The Saudi cleric denounced the close of the ideology of the Muslim
Brotherhood to confiscate rights in Saudi Arabia and demanded reform,
Saudi writer warned that Saudi Arabia is witnessing a time of reform and
loose at the same time, and stressed the need to take advantage of the
experiences of neighboring countries.
Condemned a prominent Saudi cleric of the stream near the thought of
awakening the Muslim Brotherhood in the "open letter" Friday (March 15 /
March 2013) confiscation of rights, calling for reform. And at the same time warned of congestion in the kingdom, which follow a conservative approach politically and religiously.
Salman wrote back in its website modeled on extracts that "people here
have longings and demands and rights, and will not remain silent forever
forfeited in whole or in part ... when man loses hope, you have to
expect him anything."
The return to "negative feelings accumulated since the time for quite
some ... if still feeling scared of people surmised them all, and if
increased frequency of anger will not unhappy thing, with the rising
anger lose symbols of legitimacy and political value, and become
leadership, however the street."
He attributed the reasons Saudi cleric congestion to "financial and
administrative corruption, unemployment, housing, poverty, poor health
and education and the absence of political reform horizon", noting that
"the continuation of the existing situation is impossible., But the
question to track where it's heading?".
Salman returns considered that it was "necessary to release the
detainees and decisiveness Jeddah إصلاحيي", in reference to the
provisions, which were issued last Saturday sentenced prominent human
rights activists about ten years each solve Jmeithma to lack of access
to a license to carry out the business.
Authorities also arrested in 2007 a number of university professors and
lawyers, in what has become known as the "cell Break Jeddah", some of
the Awakening Movement. And sentenced to one of them, one of the symbols of the Umma Party of the Muslim Brotherhood to 30 years imprisonment.
Era of openness and loose
For his part,
said Saudi writer Ali bin Mohammed quartet in his new book that while
the era of King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, King of Saudi Arabia, is the
era of reform and opening up, but there are currents in Saudi Arabia
grappling in the name of religion and disparate religious glances.
This came in a four-book, titled "Clash of currents in Saudi Arabia."
According to the book quartet that "the reality of the situation in
Saudi Arabia turns the equation, with leaves Halim Hiran, scene current
... suggests that we did not consider what happened around us coups and
Anfelataat, what Ajdhir For more tyranny and authoritarianism in the
absence of the rule of law and institutions."
Under the title "Corruption and Reform", the author believes that
experienced by the country now "make money the state between the rich
and the society referred to two main layers: the rich getting richer and
poor belch poorest and debt troubles, with the decline of the middle
class gradually."
"Vices under the veil"
With regard to issues controversial "It extrapolation of the reality of
offering cultural popular ideological in Saudi Arabia since unification

The uprising of women in the Arab world انتفاضة المرأة في العالم العربي
This campaign certainly deserves our support. Islam will not become a safe religion for anyone until Muslim women are free to live their own lives, and here are some women who are determined to fight for their freedom. The Logo of the campaign (the woman’s hair is a map of the Arab world.)
Inspired by the Arab Spring uprisings, four Arab women have launched a campaign titled “The Uprising of Women in the Arab World,” aimed at gaining “freedom, independence and security” for Arab women. The campaign promotes gender equality in accordance with the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and calls to grant women freedom in the domains of expression, thought, schooling, employment, and the freedom to dress as they please, as well as political rights. The campaign’s Facebook page[1] features the full text of the Human Rights Declaration in Arabic, and there is also an official Twitter account.[2
[Amongst those supporting the uprising is]
‘Alia Magda Al-Madhi from Egypt, who published nude photos of herself during the revolution in protest of oppression and attacks on freedom of expression: “I support The Uprising of Women in the Arab World because I was threatened with rape, incarceration, and murder. I was abducted, abused, and almost raped for posting an artful nude picture of myself and discussing women’s rights on my blog; for having sex with my lover; and for leaving my parents
I am with the uprising of women in the Arab world because I want to the society to see me first and foremost as a woman, before seeing me as a mother, a wife, a daughter"

Egyptian Women Fight Public Sexual Harassment
Lately, women on the streets of Egypt have
been under assault -- threatened by looks, by words and by physical
attacks. As more Egyptian women claim the freedom and power to enter
the public sphere, they are being confronted with a growing wave of
public sexual harassment.

The Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights
This trend gained a sudden worldwide audience in 2006, when
amateur videos captured crowds of men surrounding and groping women
during a religious festival. These videos were shared on the internet
for the world to witness.
Targets are not confined to a specific group. Women of every age and
class are targets of obscene behavior, even those who dress modestly in
veils.
Experts put forth many explanations -- the explosion of easily
available sexual material, lack of education about sex and sexuality and
Egypt's economy. Due to the high cost of living, couples are forced to
wait to marry until later in life, leading, some say, to rising sexual
frustration in a portion of the male population.
Whatever the cause, women are afraid to report the harassment to
police, worried that they will be ignored, or worse, blamed for their
attacks.
The Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights has declared this "a social
cancer." Their campaign against public sexual harassment is fighting to
enforce existing laws protecting women, create new legislation, and
break the silence around this taboo subject.
I.M.O.W. spoke to Engy Ghozlan, Project Coordinator for the Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights.
How did you become involved in the campaign against sexual harassment?
You hear comments on the street like: "You belong to the house." "You
shouldn't be on the street." It took me years to recognize that the
depression I was having whenever I walked on the street was because I
was not acting, I was just silent.
For me, it was an issue that I'm not going to be a victim of any
sexual violence against me anymore. I felt that it's the time to move
from being a victim to being one who helps others and helps herself to
actually survive everyday on the street. I might not be able to stop it
by myself but at least talking about it actually gave me the power to
feel that I don't have to feel sad anymore, I know that I am doing
something, and this is enough for me until I reach the day I can see
legislation that can protect me and other girls on the street.
Does the sexual harassment occur in a variety of settings? It's on the street -- but is it also in homes and schools?
Yes, it happens in houses, it happens in schools and universities, it
happens, of course, in the workplace. Girls who have to work in shops
or restaurants, the owners use them sexually. They are sure that she
can't leave, and she can't go and tell anyone because it is her
reputation that she'll be hurting.
Girls sometimes face sexual harassment on the street. If they stopped
and told the guy, "Don't do this!" or "You're attacking me!"--sometimes
people on the street don't support a girl-- they actually blame her.
In Egypt, if a girl goes to a police station, people start gossiping
about her. So girls can't go to the police, girls can't talk about it.
Our first idea was to break the silence and let girls start talking.
Is it hard to do this in a culture where there's not a lot of conversation about sexuality in general?
At the time the campaign started, talking about sexual harassment or
anything with a sexual nature was a taboo. There was this denial from
girls, they said they didn't experience it, but when you talked to them a
little bit away from sexual words, they started writing, and what they
wrote was horrible.
We were really happy that, finally, people were talking about
something that related to their sexuality or to their bodies. We found
lots of girls who were blaming themselves for the issue. The girls
thought that the reason they were getting harassed was because of their
bodies and because their bodies were beautiful, whether they wore a
veil or covered their faces or not.
Part of your campaign is to target both sides; you try to
raise awareness among young men as well as women. Have you seen changes
in the men you've worked with?
When you ask the question "Why do you sexually harass?" you get a
very stupid answer from guys. They have this idea that girls like to be
sexually harassed, at least verbally, because it gives them the
impression that they are nice, they are beautiful, and guys think this
is something that girls actually like.
But now, some of them say: "I think of my sister, I think of my mom.
What if my mom was walking on the street and someone touched her? I
would feel hurt, I would feel scared for her. I would feel I wanted to
protect her. And maybe, thinking the other way, if I imagine that any
woman on the street could be someone in my family, that would actually
make me change."
For people who practice something like this for many years, just
raising awareness is not enough to change their behavior. You need to
change the circumstances around that behavior. The circumstance that is
in our hands is to change legislation.
The economic situation that would allow men to get married sooner and
actually start a life, to allow guys to find jobs and find themselves
and have potential is not something that I can guarantee in the short
term. What I can say is that if we had legislation along with a change
in the economic and social situation, maybe one day soon we will see a
change in the behavior.
