    This article discusses the way women feel about the laws that pertain to them in Saudi Arabia. Looking at the oppressive laws on women in Saudi Arabia, an outsider would think that all women would hope for a change and for equality. However, there are many women that feel that the laws allow them to live a life of privilege without having to worry about driving or working. I never even considered this perspective.

  • ushes for the increased participation of women in conflict mediation and peace processes by shifting the paradigm around the role of women in society at both the grassroots and policy levels.
  • It is time we redefine "Countering Violent Extremism". I believe it should mean something else entirely: It should mean community development, education, and a heightened focus on dialogue and partnership. It should mean the full and active incl of women, at all levels.

  • "quick fixes" - they may curb extremism for a day, or a week, but, ultimately, military strikes and offensive tactics will only drive for greater instability in the region. The rise of ISIS in Iraq and Afghanistan's resurgence of Al Qaeda are enough evidence that this approach has not been successful.
