Egypt, Women

When Gamila meets Sarah

Egyptian chronicles - Sat, 2008-09-27 12:54 By

Gamila Ismail ,the wife of Ayman Nour is currently in the States meeting with important politicians in order to have more support and pressure to release her husband from Jail. I can’t blame her ,the woman has nothing to do except this. But the problem whom she is going to meet.

I will not speak about Bush because he has no time but I will speak about Sarah Palin.

Gamila is going to meet with Sarah Palin to explain for the newcomer from Alaska the problem of her husband. I think she should not waste her time with Palin with my all due respect and try to meet Obama.Already I feel that the Republicans let Sarah meets Gamila so she would meet someone from the Middle East !!  read more »

Yeah, that's right. Our next door neighbour, a dentist from a family which is very financially blessed , who has only been married for less than a year (also to a dentist) is currently undertaking the task of making his wife run around the house , screaming for help. Did I mention that she has just had a baby about a week ago?  read more »

I wanted to blog about some personal incidents and events…I even woke up and fell asleep forming the draft but never actually writing anything…local news, however, sprang out suddenly and I just felt it necessary to have a say, to make a comment – or even to scream.  read more »

Violence Against Women- Why?

Ha Ana Za! - Sun, 2007-07-15 16:48 By
"Treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and
committed helpers."
From the last sermon of Prophet Mohammed

"None but a noble man treats women in an honorable manner. And none but an
ignoble treats women disgracefully
". Prophet Mohammed (At-Tirmithy).

According to Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, the Prophet is reported to have said:"If a daughter is born to a person and he brings her up, gives her a good education and trains her in the arts of life, I shall myself stand between him and hell-fire."

UPDATE: Check out the new blog covering the Mid East: Outsider On The Inside

A new study conducted by the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights (ECWR) claims that 75% of women are harassed in one form or another on a regular basis. The study was done as a part of a wider campaign against sexual harassment, and while it may not be representative of all sectors of society (75% is probably high, yet illustrates an important and relevant point):
