Women are heroes. Day in day out they struggle to feed their families, send their kids to school, bear the brunt of household chores and despite all that, lack a voice that allows them to decide over their own bodies. 10/08/2010
What is the first thing you think of when I say Yemen? When I left for this country one week ago, my first thoughts were of suicide bombers and tourists being killed. Influenced by Western media, I saw Yemen as the breeding ground for Al’Qaida, axes of evil, well, you know. After a week of being in Yemen, what would be the first thing I think about? Beauty, magic, women in black, and Quat. 07/05/2010
