BREAKING NEWS: Egypts New Constitution Removes Female Equality

Women activist and other critics in the country have expressed fear the draft constitution could be used to violate their rights.

“You take your salary from my taxes. You have no right to tell me to live my life, how to dress, how to talk,” CBS News quoted a female Egyptian blogger, as saying.

“You have no right to put me in jail because I”m expressing my opinion on the Internet or in the streets. And this is what they did in the constitution,” the blogger added.

According to the report, the country’s first democratically elected leader Morsi is making a political gamble.

He is betting that a majority of Egyptians will vote for this draft constitution.

If he is right, then Morsi will tighten his grip on power, the report said.

But If he”s wrong, if Egyptians reject this proposed constitution, then they”re also rejecting Morsi”s Islamist vision for Egypt, it added. (ANI)
