30 percent of Egyptian women in the workforce have access to internet. So they decided to express their opinions through blogs off the internet anonymously about equality rights. They talk about their personal issues or issues within their country. For example, a woman from Saudia Arabia talked about the discrimination of young Muslim women on Muhammad’s birthday. These women cannot attend unless they are accompanied by a male chaperone: husbands, fathers, brothers, or sons. Egyptian women also started a radio show through the blogger. Amani Tunsi started this radio show called
I think the women have started in the right path. If they cannot express their opinion in public as in verbally, you can use some other type of communication that will catch their eye. The majority of the world be on the internet everyday. And this is a good way to get their opinions out there. It will also give them more support such as feminist movements around the world can join in or give them some points on what else to do. I don’t understand why women are still an issue on equality. But hopefully this will help the Egyptian women achieve their goal.
