The Uprising of Women in the Arab World
OP - October 15, 2012, 03:30 PM

Yes you heard that right! It's the Uprising of Women in the Arab World!

Well, for now it is just a Facebook group, but all great things start with small beginnings.....

Time for women and men to unite against the oppression of women in the arab world. To say no to violence against women, no to their allegiance to men, no to repression and abuse, no to their treatment as second class citizens.

We demand the full application of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for arab women just as for men. This chart comes before any State, any culture, any tradition, any mentality.

Let's spread the word and create a strong solidarity network, share our views, denounce the absurd laws of our respective countries, and share updates about the progress and changes that we are working on.

TOGETHER FOR FEARLESS, FREE, INDEPENDENT WOMEN IN THE ARAB WORLD !

It's about time the arab women stood up for their rights.

In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living

How can we pretend that we're fighting dictatorship, when each of us is a dictator with his mother or sister or wife or daughter?
If we treat them like slaves they shall only bring up slaves

This page needs many more supporters, really good.

I cannot work it out at all. The only thing i can think of is that she is showing her bare arms.... So maybe that upset some conservatives who have some say in facebook in certain countries...

Maybe Facebook has some local mods in the Middle East that have the power to block stuff universally??
