“All over the world women experience sexual violence, displacement, torture, feminicide and kidnap but the needs, realities, experiences and perspectives of women are often excluded from consideration. When women’s voices are not heard, women’s needs are ignored. When women are marginalised and excluded from power, men think it’s okay to say things like ‘women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be vic-timised.’ We believe that you can’t build peace by leaving half of the people out. No women, no peace.” - Chitra Nagarajan

Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah has said women will have the right to stand and vote in future local elections and join the advisory Shura council as full members.

“Because we refuse to marginal-ise women in society in all roles that comply with sharia, we have decided, after deliberation with our senior ulama [clerics] and others … to involve women in the Shura council as members, start-ing from the next term,” Ab-dullah, 87, said in a speech.

“Women will be able to run as candidates in the municipal election and will even have a right to vote,” he added.

Liberal activists in the coun-try have long called for greater rights for women, who are barred from travelling, working or hav-ing medical operations without the permission of a male relative and are forbidden from driving.

The changes will come af-

ter elections on Thursday, in which women are barred from voting or standing for office.

“This is great news,” said Wajeha al-Huwaider, a Saudi writer and women’s rights activist. “Wom-en’s voices will finally be heard.

“Now it is time to remove other barriers like not allowing women to drive cars and not being able to function, to live a normal life without male guardians.”

The king did not address the is-sue of women being allowed to drive. Although there is no written law against women driv-ing, they are not issued li-cences, effectively banning the practice. A campaign this sum-mer by women who broke Saudi law by driving on the kingdom’s city streets prompted some arrests.

Women in Saudi Arabia must also have written approval from a male guardian - a father, hus-band, brother or son - to leave

the country, work or even under-go certain medical operations.

Activists in the country have long called for greater rights for women. Ruled by an absolute monarchy supported by conserva-tive Wahhabi clerics, Saudi Ara-bia is a conservative country where religious police patrol the streets to ensure public seg-regation between men and women.

King Abdullah has long been pushing cautious political re-forms, but in a country where conservative clerics and senior members of the ruling family op-pose even minor changes, liber-alisation has been very gradual.

Despite calls on social media for widespread protests in Sau-di Arabia during the Arab Spring pro-democracy protests in the Middle East and north Africa, the only noteworthy demonstra-tions were confined to the coun-try’s east, which is home to the country’s Shia minority.

Saudi Arabia will hold only its second nationwide elections in recent memory on Thursday for seats on local councils, but crit-ics of the ruling al-Saud fami-ly say the poll, in which voting is limited to men, is a charade.

Supporters of the absolute mon-archy say the elections are de-signed to give Saudis a great-

er say in politics, but critics point out that the elections are for only half the seats on councils that have few powers.

The Shura council, which vets legislation but cannot veto it or enforce changes, is ful-ly appointed by the king.

“Despite the issue of the ef-fectiveness of these councils, women’s involvement in them was necessary. Maybe after women join there will be other chang-es,” said Naila Attar, who or-ganised the Baladi (Arabic for My Country) campaign call-ing for women’s involvement in the local council elections.

“I believe this is a step to in-volve women in the public sphere. It is the top of the pyramid and a step in the direction for more decisions regarding women.”

Slutwalk London: The radical notion that nobody deserves to be raped.

On 11th June 2011, SlutWalk came to London. Thousands of people of all races, genders, sexualities, classes and occupations came to-gether to protest the silencing of our voices, the repression of our choices and the violence against our bodies. The word ‘slut’ carries a history of assault, shaming, insults and degradation, where people are

forced to remain silent about their assault through a society and legal system which all too often places the blame on the victim. But those who came to SlutWalk were far from silent and ashamed. As much as SlutWalk was a direct chal-lenge to the attitudes and practis-es which allow rape to continue in society, it was a celebration of our bodies, identities and choices, and an affirmation of our commitment to continuing the long struggle to-wards a world without assault.

"I am walking because I was raped. I am walking because two thirds of people who answered a survey would say I am to blame for my rape. The only per-son to blame is the man who raped me.I am so angry with the lack of justice, the hundreds and thousands of rapists who walk away. I am angry because the survivors of rape are victimised again and again. If we report it (I did) we are forced to re-live it in hor-rendous detail several times over. We feel violated again when the CPS decides not to prosecute after all and he simply walks away. We are not victims. We were victims, for a moment in time. Now, we are survivors."
