Women in Qatar have broken barriers and achieved significant progress, but state-enforced male guardianship rules limit their ability to live full, productive, and independent lives.
Many women spoke to Human Rights Watch for a new report that details how women in Qatar need male guardian permission to marry, obtain a government scholarship to study, work in many government jobs, travel abroad, and access some healthcare.
“Sanaa,” a 31-year-old Qatari woman, said: “To get a scholarship to study abroad you need guardian permission … Even at Qatar University, as a TA [teaching assistant], you need your legal guardian’s permission stating that they don’t mind you going and continuing your studies abroad.”
Qatar should remove male guardianship rules so women can begin to take control of their lives.
Brazil’s national health system is on the verge of collapse. Intensive care units across the country are at or near capacity. News organizations report people are dying while waiting for a bed.
Women’s rights defenders should be able to express themselves publicly, including when they oppose government policy, without having targets on their backs.
This week, along with our partners, we submitted more than 100,000 signatures that we collected for the #EqualityActJapan campaign. Thank you! By passing the LGBT Equality Act quickly we can save so many people who are struggling today.
