Being young girls living in the United States, the land of the free and the home of the brave, we scarcely ever have our rights contravened. Besides the occasional comment about boys being stronger, smarter or faster, women are treated equally as compared to men. Women have worked strenuously for centuries to earn the right to vote, to drive, and to have equal rights. Unfortunately, in many Middle Eastern countries, this is hardly the case.
In many parts of the Middle East, women are treated quite unfairly. They have very little say in what they wear, who they marry, and even who they interact with. According to the original Qur'an, men and women are equals. Somehow, in countries in which the Qur'an dictates every move a person makes, women have hardly any rights as compared to men and the inequality between men and women is astonishing.
Below, is a chart comparing women's rights in various countries in the Middle East.
