In Saudi Arabia, a woman was raped- and SHE was the one punished for the crime. 200 lashes prison time. and currently a lack of legal representation This is just one example of the many violations of women's rights that occur in Saudi Arabia "Under law in Saudi Arabia, women are subject to numerous restrictions, including a strict dress code, a prohibition against driving and a requirement that they get a man's permission to travel or have surgery. Women are also not allowed to testify in court unless it is about a private matter that was not observed by a man, and they are not allowed to vote." -CNN.com Pass this on. Let others know!!! Women are still denied their rights!! www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/11/20/saudi.rape.victim/index.html

This injustice is nothing new. This woman is not the first or the thousandth to fall to such atrocities, nor shall she be the last. But, the question arises in my thoughts, how can we bring this insanity to an end? The problem is that there isn’t any peaceful way to bring about the change that I can see.

there IS a peaceful way for change... it just takes a while.
saudi arabia is always not the only country doing injustices like this to women. there are many countries around the world that still require women to be nothing more than the furniture in the house.
always there inside the room. gathering dust. with the husband sitting on their rights.
it isn't fair. if there are enough people that want the change to occur, it can happen.
i'm not calling for a feminist revolution or anything just a women's rights revolution.
