Egyptian revolution 'failing to deliver for women'

Egyptian revolution 'failing to deliver for women'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-18861958

"Nisreen was young, brave and full of hope for the new Egypt she was in the process of creating.

It was 6 February 2011 and she, like hundreds of other women, was sleeping in Tahrir Square to physically protect it from the Mubarak-government forces trying to take it back..................."

I guess all the fun is gone now.

I'm shocked to hear that!

Muslims, treating women poorly? Whodathunkit?

Wow, what's next, punishment for homosexuals? Sharia law? Desecrating antiquities? Punishment for rape victims?
