Subjugation of women in whatever extremity and/or by whatever means (cultural, religious, political, socio-economic) - anywhere in world - is wrong. Period.
I see a lot of finger-pointing in instances like these, the so-called "West" here talking about how backward "muslim" countries are with regard to women's rights, yet I see a right-wing agenda in the USA that basically wants to control women's rights. How is that more advanced?
There is no gender equality in plenty of powerful institutions in the so-called "developed nations", the military, church organizations, etc. - women are still discriminated against. Employment policies in the USA still have serious gender disparities making women apply for no credit check loans more often.
My point is for us as a society in general to see a story like this and immediately begin assessing blame and claiming some superiority while the same thing (albeit under different guises) is happening in our own backyards, does nothing to advance the cause of gender equality.
At the end of the day, let's not forget that women are human beings - and women's rights are really - human rights.
I would like to live in Australia.

What about an up date on the situation in Western Sahara ?
In November 2010, before the up risings in Tunisia etc. a number of protesters complaining about job opportunities and discrimination were killed by the Moroccan authorities :

At the time Amnesty called for an independent inquiry. Has this materialised ? This is particularly important in light of the lack of response of Western govts.,apart from Spain to this event. Interestingly the same govts. who were the first to be demanding NATO air strikes in Libya.
London: Darcus Howe, a West Indian Writer and Broadcaster with a voice about the riots. Speaking about the mistreatment of youths by police leading to an up-roar and the ignorance of both police and the governement. Intelligent black male.

100% Wrong about Bahrain which says that was Peaceful Protest! on Bahrain, Amnesty get their info from liars, if Amnesty calls what is happening in Bahrain was Peaceful Protest. Ok what would you call what is happening in London right now? is still a peaceful Protest.Please get real.

This is great! Australia is a great country with great people.
Egypt is great place to visit in summer. I hope everything will be OK,
no more protests.
