The movement of opinion to allow women to drive in Saudi Arabia may help to resolve a situation incomprehensible to most people. The day for the right for women to drive a car that was celebrated on October 26, 2013 gave international visibility to this issue.

However, in the world there are many cases of unequal rights of women similarly absurd. The Washington Post article highlights seven cases: in India, the helmet is not “compulsory for women not to spoil the hairdo ” according to the supporters of this ridiculous and dangerous disparity, Yemen testimony is worth only half of women that of a man and a woman can not leave the house without her husband’s permission – unless it is an emergency, the Vatican and Saudi Arabia, women are not entitled to vote and always in Saudi Arabia and Morocco raped women can be considered guilty for being out without an escort that protect , while in Ecuador only women can have abortions deemed ” mentally ill ” or demented .

Wanting to explore the condition of women in the world you can see the Gender Gap Index by the World Economic Forum: 2013 report in Italy needless to say is to place 71 out of 133 countries. (Thanks to Bruno for the tip)
