In the Land of Invisible Women

In the hot areas of Yemen, one would never see a woman walking around who would be considered equal to a man. On the occasion that a woman is walking the town, her whole body is covered so that no one would see flesh and she would walk with her head down and in a hurry to not be seen by any one else. A woman's goal in Yemen would be to go unnoticed. These women have no say in their lives, they have no choices. Girls are given to men twice their age, it is truly cruel and unfair. While living in the United States, sometimes I forget that other cultures have absolutely no respect for women. I feel so lucky to have the rights, as a woman, that I have in America. It makes me angry and upset to think that these woman have no idea what it is like to be truly free.
