Some people  especially from men consider the Kolena Laila as an experience to whine  and to curse the man who enslaves woman ..etc well for sure the Arab  woman suffers a lot and for sure after all those years , the world  especially the west has this perception of the Arab woman as the weak  lady who only will be liberated by the help of the west and its values  but ..<\/p>\n<p>I just got tired from this image and this  perception,again yes part of this image is true the Arab woman as an  oriental woman suffers from the male domination which I believe exists  all over the world but in different percentage in different ways through  out the time. Arabian women are not that weak and they must know that.  Through out our great history we had these wonderful bright examples  starting of strong powerful ladies from Queens to religious icons to to  national heroines to 20th century\u2019s pioneers to simple ladies in their  homes serving and protecting their families.<\/p>\n<p>I do not know why the world ignores a woman like Dr. <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sameera_Moussa\">Samira Moussa<\/a> as a brilliant example of an Arab woman scientist or like <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Djamila_Bouhired\">Djamila Bouhired<\/a> as an Arab woman warrior or like Safia El-Sadat who stood in front of a  whole society to defend her marriage from a man regarded to be from a  lower different class. Even from our old history we had bright wonderful  examples of strong confident\u00a0 ladies like Asama Bint Abi Baker , Lady  Fatimah and Lady Zeinab. There are thousands of strong successful Arab  women in different positions from scientists to CEO and yet no one shads  the light and speaks or celebrates these achievements as if we are only  used to dark sad examples.<\/p>\n<p>These examples must be highlighted  and remind people with how successful an Arab woman can be despite all  the challenges and hardships in the way without the help of anyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>egyptian chronicles blog This year our dear Kolena Laila went from local borders to regional Arabic borders with posts from around the Arab world in amazing<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nwrcegypt.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
