A Gallup Poll on Arab men and women and rights, religion, and rebuilding
A recent poll from Gallup (Summer 2012) entitled “After the Arab Uprisings: Women on Rights, Religion, and Rebuilding” makes for interesting reading and provides surprising results. While there are many commonalities among the Arab countries surveyed (Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen), some of the findings also underline significant differences. This leads to some surprising poll results as the questions address broader terms like religion, the Sharia, gender equity, etc.
Would you look at that? Middle Eastern countries have a diversity in thought in regards to women’s participation in society. Shocking. All this time I thought they were all the same horrible, oppressive people.
