That's a good point, but I still have my doubts. Vodalus Send a noteboard - 27/09/2011 04:39:12 AM
How much support/resistance will there be from local officials, religious authorities, and male family members?



Just consider: would you really make all the women in your household not vote when they're going to vote for the same guy you're voting for? It's local politics, odds are the household's interests are aligned.


The main one being whether the promise will be honored once the unrest and unease generated by the Arab Spring settle down. The other one is whether the men in the family simply "decide" for the women who and what they'll vote for come election time.
南無阿弥陀仏!

Hm. Let's wait and see how able they are to exercise that right before making any calls. - 25/09/2011 11:25:21 PM 294 Views
