Invisible Women

“In the Land of Invisible Women” I found the limited access to education and the little to no repercussions from the revolution to be the most disturbing. Yemeni girls have virtually no chance to obtain an education from the government or their local village. Men, however, have a much greater chance to become educated and learn the necessary skills they need to get a job later in life. Also, the Tunisian revolution in 2011 which eradicated the dictator government was seen as victory by Americans. There was no change in the lives of women, however, in Yemen. Thankfully, most women see this as a catalyst to bringing more rights to the future of their generations. Compared to my 18 year old life, Yemeni women have little to no rights equivalent to my own. The education and voice offered to the Yemeni girls would not even be comparable to those offered to myself. This article furthered educated me on the atrocities happening in 2013 around the world as we speak.
