Arab women and the Arabian Uprisings

Women used to be taboo in the Middle Eastern societies up to now .When fighting for the power women just worked secretly in the background ...and they were not attacked ....Things have changed ...First in Egypt women went to the streets to protest ... then they were attacked. A prominent Egyptian actor said ;"Tahrir square ? Boys and girls together in the big crowd -every kind of immoral act "

Then the Yemeni president called the women who were protesting veiled and segregated -immoral ones .There was a big crowd of them . No wonder that someone took revenge by publishing Saleh's daughter photo on the youtube .In Western standard there was nothing indecent on this photo - a lovely girl was there in jeans and long sleeved blouse ...but this was meant as a big humiliation ...

Then the turn came for the Al jazeera tv channel's women presenters . They got nasty e-mails with fabricated nasty photos on these presenters and threats that full similar videos will be published soon .Their family members were threatened ...
