1. What are some of the rights that you enjoy as a woman in your country?
To vote, to drive, to run for president, almost everything.
2. In your country, do you think that the government should pass more laws for women and children?
I think the government should enforce the existing laws: women should get the same salary as men. We do not need more laws about it, we need to enforce this existing law with fines to the companies which still pay more money to men just for them being men.
3. How are the women viewed in your society?
As the property of the husbands, but we are changing this. There is still a lot to do, it is still a long path.

1. Women’s rights can not enjoy according to the text are: to vote, to drive alone or must cover whole body, but these are other more.
I don’t think the problem is religion, the problem is the people who governs, are all men. They make laws as they want. All powers are together, a lot of power in a few peolple is not good.

2. All different looks bad, we have to learn, undertand and then give your opinion. It is a reality, they should have more right, let them go to the school, to can work, to choose, to develop themselves as person and also to make mistakes.
