    Wow! Wow! Wow! As a male blogger focusing on women empowerment, i am shocked at these practices. It is against basic human rights.

    It baffles me how poorly women are treated in other countries outside the US. What you are doing is so important to bring light to these issues. I’m happy that so many countries are condemning Saudi Arabia’s human rights record

    When I come across such societies which are male dominated to this extent, I wonder when things are going to change. The world is progressing but women in these countries are being not given the opportunity to move ahead.

    I started reading this and immediately thought how awful it is that this happens. The I read the part about the father who married off his eight-year-old daughter to a 47-year-old man to have his debts forgiven. That is just shocking. The whole world should know about things like this happening. Thank you for giving a voice to those people and make people like me aware. So sad.

    Very difficult to read all of the injustices that happen to women. Very well research and compiled post. The stories of the women taking a stand are inspiring

    Thank you for bringing to light the male guardianship rule in Saudi Arabia. Here in the US, we often take our rights for granted. This is a reminder of how fortunate US citizens are and our obligation to help others throughout the world gain equal footing. I would be interested in direct suggestions for how we can help this cause.

    We so often hear nothing about the consequences of these laws and customs, or maybe just snippets. This was such a comprehensive summary that no one can ignore. Thanks for speaking up.

    This article is such an eye opener. Thank you for this. It is really sad because all these is not communicated through the media.

    Awful state of affairs for females in Saudi Arabia. What is their justification for treating any human worst than an animal? I feel so bad for those who are born into that abusive culture.

    It still amazes me that we live in the world where everything is so modern but some women in other countries are still treated in primitive way. I usually keep my opinions to myself but no one has the right to dictate a person.

    I could not live in a society like this. It makes the equality issues in the US seem so minor. Thank you for spreading awareness that women do not have equal rights around the globe.
