cheers to saudi
young women!
By Kulamarva BalakrishnaVienna, Wednesday,January 30,2008:Agencies
report from Geneva,Yakin Erturk,United Nations
expert on women's rights,is set to visit Saudi Arabia
after the kingdom came under fierce public attacks
against ill treatment of women,including whipping
punishment to rape victim young women.
Ms.Yakin Erturk, the UN special rapporteur on
violence against women,its causes and consequences,
will be in the savage kingdom from February 4 to
13 at the La illaha Abdullah government's invitation.
Erturk, a sociology professor at the Middle East
Technical University in Ankara, will meet saudi
authorities,UN officials and individual victims of
violence against women during her visit.She will
report her findings to the UN Human Rights Council.
Saudia Arabia is governed by Wahabism, a strict
misinterpretation of Islam.The religion is
born with protection of Khadija bint
Khuwaylid, a great female personality of
her time.
Now-- in the name of Sharia law --the sand land
imposes complete segregation of the sexes,in a
kind of Islamic Apartheid against women. As such,
it is illegal in that lawless land, for a woman to be
in the company of a man who is not considered her
family member.Earlier this month, the Committee
on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women
quizzed Saudi officials on numerous aspects of
women's life in the kingdom, including that
men have the right to twice the inheritance
women are allowed, and that women are
compelled to have a strange "male page"
accompany them wherever they went as
routine."Without the presence of this male page,
a woman cannot study, may be not able to go to
a toilet,access health services, marry, travel abroad,
have a business or even access an ambulance in an
emergency,"an experts on the committee said.
The Saudi delegation highlighted in a report to
the committee that "Saudi society is still largely
a savage tribal society and changes in mentality
allowing new ideas take time".Riyadh also reported
in black and white writing that "Islam, as a realistic
religion,admits that total equality between man and
woman is impossible, as various scientific studies
by wahabi mullahs on their psychological differences
have shown.But the U.N. committee has responsibility
of seeing the application of the Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against
Women, a UN treaty regarded as a global bill of
rights for women. The U.N.is responsible for the
global human family.(end)
