My name is Islam and I want to tell you about "Women in my community." 
Woman's status in the Bedouin society is still constant. All the time, she must keeps some rules that are considered vital to her essence life such as to keeps her honor, body, home, and her husband. As it is known, the value of the woman's honor is the most important for ever in the Bedouin traditions.
In addition, the steps that the woman can do are limited. For example, she can't go on a picnic or work far away from the home borders. So many girls who continue their education can become teachers who work in the tribe school or the nearby village and by the mid of the day she returns to her home. Also, the hard desert conditions need a strong person and we know that the woman is tender. These hard conditions have helped the man to appear like a lion but the woman stays at home.
In the Bedouin society, they focus on boys more than girls who as a result stayed at home without any rights. Her job was to take care of her children and home.  For that, I ask all to take care of their girls and treat them well and mostly to send them to universities to get good education and better life.

My name is Sabha and I want to add something on Islam's topic. In the Bedouin society, the girls are not given the right to choose their husbands. Since the Bedouin society is a masculine one, men believe that women cannot take a good decision. This is not true because I believe that the woman has the right to decide and to choose the best for her.

Finally I hope that our society will make some changes.
