The fight for equal rights and the abolishment of Sharia law will not be easy. It will result in death of many women and probably some men. It will take years, but it will be worth it. No equal rights movement has ever been quick. [1] The first American women's rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. In 1893 Colorado was the first state to adopt an amendment granting women the right to vote. Utah and Idaho follow in 1896, Washington State in 1910, California in 1911, Oregon, Kansas, and Arizona in 1912, Alaska and Illinois in 1913, Montana and Nevada in 1914, New York in 1917; Michigan, South Dakota, and Oklahoma in 1918. Finally on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was signed by Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby. It wasn't even until 1903 when the National Women's Trade Union League was established to improve wages and working conditions for women. No equal rights movement has ever been painless. [2] In spite of peaceful public protests, meetings with Congressmen, parades and petitions, the activists were at a standstill and became frustrated. In 1917, they started picketing outside the White House. This cause quite an uproar and it wasn"t unusual for the police to arrest the suffragists for blocking the sidewalk and causing a public nuisance. They were threatened, beaten, chained, and force fed by a rubber tube. The fight for women's suffrage in the middle east has already begun in certain areas. However they obviously have a log way to go for full equality [3] : -In Egypt at Tahrir Square, men and women protested together for weeks. Hundreds of women slept in the square during the Egyptian revolution to preempt a takeover by regime forces. -In Yemen, women were active in the protests against former President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Female Yemeni journalist and activist, Tawakkol Karman, became one of the faces of the Arab Spring and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011. -In Syria at the start of the uprising, women organized protests, provided basic supplies to affected families, and spoke out against the regime. Women in Tunisia joined male protesters in efforts to oust long-standing ruler Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali. Equally, women were also victims of the former regime's crackdown. Like I said, the fight for world wide equality will not be easy. Just like we have seen before, people will be beaten, tortured, and killed. Just because it will be difficult to achieve something, does not mean an attempt shouldn't be made. [1] http://www.infoplease.com... [2]http://www.momsrising.org... [3]http://www.fairobserver.com...
