Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood yesterday (the Muslim Brotherhood) issued a statement warning of the consequences of the end of the world if advised by the United Nations documents, to solve the violence against women.
Though they come from the interpretation of islamic law at the core of the group's opposition, they complain that spells trouble for the many women feel is a step backward in Egypt in Egypt society's long-term plans. Brothers, who pushed President Mohammed mursi, warned that the United Nations is working for will have the right to decide when or where to go to travel in the hands of women, rather than her husband, a married man raped his wife face the same legal risks, if a stranger rape of women; Who gave birth to a son, a woman's marriage might be made the same request, and if she is married to his father.
Although there is no United Nations file will have any effectiveness in Egyptian society, unless agreed to Egypt, I'm curious, why the Muslim brotherhood so riled up. Status of women, founded in 2010, the UN women's organizations, as part of the UN human rights commission's advice, and puts forward since early march has been a subject of bargaining (draft I found, was held entitled "to eliminate and prevent all forms of violence against women and girls," may be greatly different) now.

It contains a lot of ambiguity, the desired language. For example, the proposal calls for u.n. member states to "promote and protect all human rights of women and girls, including the control of the rights and freedoms, determine their sexual freedom responsibly force, discrimination and violence related matters, the highest standards of health, including sexual and reproductive health, reproductive rights." And it also wants the government to "accelerate efforts to eliminate discrimination against women and girls and ensure that all women enjoy equal human rights and fundamental freedoms, including education, health, social security, land, property, inheritance, employment, participation and decision making in all areas of life."
Voted by the United Nations conference on women, founded in 2010, the task is to promote gender equality and women's rights. "Is something that is, first and foremost, a brother is a open hostilities - they refused, the concept of men and women should strictly equal. They seem to not so hot" giving women's power ", because they have a strong preference for sons, wife is bowing to her husband.
UN's idea to do a lot of direct conflict with the Muslim brotherhood's religious views. Call women have equal access To "related To property and inheritance rights, for example, the conflict and brother's interpretation of islamic law, which requires women less than men. And brother believes that women should not interfere with their adult male relatives or their husbands. To be fair, UN document authors attempt To popularize their cultural beliefs free cases To make a decision, the brother called attempts To" knowledge and cultural invasion of the Muslim countries. "
But Egyptian society of the United Nations (or more limit women's rights, Saudi Arabia, etc.), the influence of the brother's plan to have any effect? Number, but the brothers reaction intensity is a reminder that just because a country has free elections, or is trying to build a more democratic system, its leaders aren't necessarily interested in understanding more widely in the value of freedom.
This is the latest volley in the culture of a long running war, Egypt's new leaders are eager to enter. Their friends. According to Reuters, Egypt has joined by Russia, Iran and the Vatican in violent opposition to the proposal, looking for a common cause, for the draft call for better treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and abortion.
