Women: Arab Spring of 2011

The article I read was very intersting. I never knew that this fight for a deomcracy was going on in other countries. I figured there might have been some arguementation about it but I definitely did not realize how big of an issue it has become. Not only is a democracy being fought for but the topic of women has beome one of the major influences. There is an organization called the Womens Learning Partnership  (WLP) which is an organization to fight and increse the role of women leadership and their rights. Their goal is to empower women  not only to transform their families but communities and scieties as well. They are trying to encourage and help as much as the Muslim socieies as they can because they seem to be the toughest crowd. In doing so their campaign is as simple as "Leading to Choices." They are trying to reach as many women as well as young girls and teach them the importance and understanding of their rights and the voice that they do in fact carry.
