Western Influence and Women of the Middle East

The influence of Western Europe where women in the Middle East are unevenly distributed in the Middle East and American and European culture is a widely accepted phenomenon. Due to the widespread dissemination of American products and ideas, people's culture, ideas, and current situation are constantly changing and challenging. The national culture of the United States focuses mainly on individual needs and needs. As one of the greatest superpowers of the time, it will inevitably have an impact on the personal concern of the world society.

Despite the political tension arising from the combination of history and contemporary Western influence, women in the Middle East united in a struggle for women's rights in the chief patriarchal culture of Islamic countries. The gender problem is completely intertwined with the secularization issue (Nanes 113-115). Various governments have recognized some liberal secular authority expressions and religious considerations in public places (Najmabadi 240-241)

When discussing the general problems facing women in the Middle East, they often lose the diversity of women's lifestyles and conditions. Westerners who are accustomed to stereotypes are told that women in the Middle East are passive and weak and constantly veiled. It is often said that Saudi Arabia's harsh conditions - women are not even allowed to drive a car - represent women's norms throughout the Middle East and the larger Muslim world. In fact, despite the reign of Afghanistan Taliban imitating the gender discrimination model of Saudi Arabia, the version that distinguishes Islam from gender in Saudi Arabia is quite unique in its rigor. Women are enjoying political and social rights in many Muslim countries and Egypt recently gave women the right to divorce with their husbands. In Tunisia, abortion is legal, polygamy is prohibited. Women serve as Ministers of Governments in Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq and Tunisia and I am vice president of Iran

Historically, the Middle East has given women more rights than in the West. It includes the right to owning, managing, prosecuting, litigating, contracting, and carrying out business on property. However, family law and inheritance rights have little rights to women in the Middle East. It is ironic that the same Islamic law disadvantages it since the 7th century when women were given the right to oppose norms. In fact, the marriage of children, compliance with responsibilities, difficulties in divorce are part of the daily lives of women in Middle Eastern countries controlled by clergy.
