It is year 2020 and thanks to all the donations from GlobalGiving.com, hundreds of women have escaped from Afghanistan, Iraq and Jordan. Not only have they escaped from the clutches of their abusive husbands, they have escaped many other facets of injustice that have held them back for decades. In fact, five of these women are now Fortune 500 executives. More educational opportunities for women has led to the implementation of new gender equality laws. More specifically, a revolutionary law has been put in place in Iraq that has outlawed spousal abuse. The Parliamentarians (some women) in Afghanistan, Jordan and other Middle Eastern countries have followed suit with steps to implement the same law. In addition, conservative interpretations of Shari'a (Islamic law) is becoming a thing of the past, which has led to more rights for women. And while discrimination against women is still prevalent in the world, the Middle East is a significantly better place women to live.
