Women played a key role in rejecting Egypt's new constitution, which was imposed by political Islam forces despite objections. The constitution marginalizes women's rights and freedoms, such as by stating the primary role of women is reproduction and limiting their place to the home. It also threatens to allow groups to impose dress codes and behaviors on women. Women's organizations continue working to mobilize against the constitution and new policies that contradict the goals of the January 25, 2011 revolution, with women at the heart of the democratic forces.

Στο "Έργα και Ημέραι" ο Ησίοδος αναφέρεται στην Πανδώρα, λέγοντας ότι την έπλασε ο Δίας για να τιμωρήσει τον Προμηθέα, στη συνέχεια όμως αναφέρεται διεξοδικά στο πώς ακριβώς τιμώρησε ο Δίας το ανθρώπινο είδος μέσω της Πανδώρας.
«'Οταν ο Δίας κατάλαβε τι είχε κάνει ο Προμηθέας, του είπε «χαίρεσαι που με γέλασες, αλλά θα βρει μεγάλο κακό εσένα και όλους τους ανθρώπους και αυτό θα είναι το τίμημα για τη φωτιά που τους έδωσες. Θα είναι αυτό (το κακό) κάτι που οι άνθρωποι θα χαρούν με την καρδιά τους ενώ θα αγκαλιάζουν την καταστροφή τους»
Και έβαλε τον Ήφαιστο να πλάσει από άργιλο ένα πλάσμα που να μοιάζει σε αθάνατη θεά, αλλά να έχει τη φωνή και τη δύναμη ανθρώπου. Η Αθηνά της έμαθε να υφαίνει και η Αφροδίτη την έκανε ποθητή, ενώ ο Δίας, όπως αναφέρει ο Ησίοδος, έβαλε τον Ερμή να της δώσει ξεδιάντροπο μυαλό και πανούργα φύση και να της διδάξει τα ψέματα. Της δόθηκαν σαν δώρα επίσης τα χαρίσματα της Πειθούς και των Χαρίτων και ο Ερμής της έδωσε και ομιλία. Στο τέλος, λέει ο Ησίοδος, την ονόμασαν Πανδώρα, επειδή κάθε θεός της έδωσε κι ένα δώρο, αλλά ήταν βαρύ χτύπημα για τους ανθρώπους που δουλεύουν για το ψωμί τους (δηλαδή τους θνητούς).
Ύστερα ο Δίας είπε στον Ερμή να παραδώσει την Πανδώρα ως δώρο στον Επιμηθέα, τον αδελφό του Προμηθέα. Αυτός δεν αναλογίστηκε τη συμβουλή του αδελφού του «να μη δεχτεί ποτέ δώρο από τον Ολύμπιο Δία και να το στείλει πίσω επειδή μπορεί να αποδεικνυόταν βλαβερό για τους ανθρώπους». Δέχτηκε την Πανδώρα και κατάλαβε το λάθος του όταν πια έγινε το κακό. Γιατί
Security issues have become a major issue in recent years due to the advancement of technology in networking and its use in a destructive way. A number of Defence strategies have been devised to overcome the flooding attack which is prominent in the networking industry due to which depletion of resources Takes place. But these mechanism are not designed in an optimally and effectively and some of the issues have been unresolved. Hence in this paper we suggest a Game theory based strategy to create a series of Defence mechanisms using puzzles. Here the concept of Nash equilibrium is used to handle sophisticated flooding attack to defend distributed attacks from unknown number of sources
Firewall is a device or set of instruments designed to permit or deny network transmissions based upon a set of rules and regulation is frequently used to protect networks from unauthorized access while permitting legitimate communications to pass or during the sensitive data transmission. Distributed firewalls allow enforcement of security policies on a network without restricting its topology on an inside or outside point of view. Use of a policy language and centralized delegating its semantics to all members of the networks domain support application of firewall technology for organizations, which network devices communicate over insecure channels and still allow a logical separation of hosts in- and outside the trusted domain. We introduce the general concepts of such distributed firewalls, its requirements and implications and introduce its suitability to common threats on the Internet, as well as give a short discussion on contemporary implementations.

Women Electoral Quotas: Global Trend and Comparison with PakistanCPDI
Women's empowerment is a complex and evolving concept that is constantly being
defined, and re-defined.1 Empowerment is simply a political process of granting human
rights and social justice to disadvantaged groups of people. Women's empowerment is
said to be women’s increased access to material resources such as land, income,
availability of decent employment opportunities with good working conditions, access to
power through representation in political and decision-making bodies, the freedom to
make choices in life, enjoyment of basic rights granted in the constitution and
international agreements, equal access to quality education and health facilities,
mobility to be able to access various facilities, and control over one's body, sexuality
and reproductive choices.................

Group rights, group cultural identity and democracyFlora Kadriu
Abstract. The aim of this paper is to delve into the topic of human rights, consequently showing that the fight for recognising the cultural identity develops through the system of human rights. Specifically speaking, the latter is achieved through civil and political rights, individual rights, and the first-generation rights. Individual’s collective practices for cultural self-identification develop exactly through the civil rights, namely, the right of self-determination. The collective identity and practices also influence and determine the political system. Therefore, in this paper I direct the focus towards the democratic form of the political system of segmented or pluralistic multicultural societies and countries. The implication of this paper is that the consociational democracy (or consensual according to some authors), as a democratic and political system in multi-cultural societies, and cultural diversity in politics are tightly intertwined with the source of their rights, i.e. the human rights system. Keywords: human rights, civil and political rights, individual and collective identity, consociational democracy.

National Organization for Women, “Statement of Purpose” (1966)
National Organization for Women, “Statement of Purpose” (1966)
The National Organization for Women was founded in 1966 by prominent American feminists, including Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisolm, and others. The organization’s “statement of purpose” laid out the goals of the organization and the targets of its feminist vision.
We, men and women, who hereby constitute ourselves as the National Organization for Women, believe that the time has come for a new movement toward true equality for all women in America, and toward a fully equal partnership of the sexes, as part of the world-wide revolution of human rights now taking place within and beyond our national borders.
The purpose of NOW is to take action to bring women into full participation in the mainstream of American society now, exercising all the privileges and responsibilities thereof in truly equal partnership with men.
We believe the time has come to move beyond the abstract argument, discussion and symposia over the status and special nature of women which has raged in America in recent years; the time has come to confront, with concrete action, the conditions that now prevent women from enjoying the equality of opportunity and freedom of which is their right, as individual Americans, and as human beings.
NOW is dedicated to the proposition that women, first and foremost, are human beings, who like all other people in our society, must have the chance to develop their fullest human potential. We believe that women can achieve such equality only by accepting to the full the challenges and responsibilities they share with all other people in our society, as part of the decision-making mainstream of American political, economic and social life.
We organize to initiate or support action, nationally, or in any part of this nation, by individuals or organizations, to break through the silken curtain of prejudice and discrimination against women in government, industry, and professions, the churches, the political parties, the judiciary, the labor unions, in education, science, medicine, law, religion and every other field of importance in American society. Enormous changes taking place in our society make it both possible and urgently necessary to advance the unfinished revolution of women toward true equality now. With a life span lengthened to nearly 75 years it is no longer either necessary or possible for women to devote the greatest part of their lives to child-rearing; yet childbearing and rearing which continues to be a most important part of most women’s lives — still is used to justify barring women from equal professional and economic participation and advance.
…
Despite all the talk about the status of American women in recent years, the actual po.

Fighting Still: Perspectives on Economic, Social and Political Independence i...Lenin Tinashe Chisaira
Any frank and democratic discussion on Zimbabwe’s independence is crucial because the people have mainly been targeted by state-sanctioned events and a mainstream media that over-exaggerates the sanctity of political independence. An independence without economic justice or social emancipation.
Discussing Gender and Internatonal Cultural RelationsDr Lendy Spires
Gender equality calls for women and men to have equal rights and entitlements to human, social, economic and cultural development, and an equal voice in civil and political life. This does not mean that women and men will become the same, but that women’s and men’s rights, responsibilities and opportunities do not depend on whether they are born male or female. The pursuit of gender equality has a long history. Especially in the West, it can be seen as an extension of the ongoing claims for liberty and equality unleashed by the French Revolution, when equality before the law became newly established as the basis of the social order.
Well into the 20th century, the extended struggle for the franchise has stood as the symbol of a much wider struggle by women playing a central role in extending, defending or giving substance to social citizenship rights. The call for equal rights for women resurfaced in the 1960s and 1970s alongside movements for civil and human rights, peace, the environment, and gay liberation. One of the major triumphs of this stage was the UN adoption of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in 1979, the first international human-rights instrument to explicitly define all forms of discrimination against women as fundamental human-rights violations. CEDAW emphasised women's individual rights in opposition to those traditionalists who defend major inequalities in the status quo as the ‘complementary’ roles for men and women that nature intended. It called for the equality of men and women in public and political life, before the law and with respect to nationality rights, in education, employment, the provision of healthcare (including access to family planning services), and in marriage and family matters.
Another high point was the constitution of the new South Africa (1996 – built on the Women’s Charter for Effective Equality and the ANC’s 1993 Bill of Rights), which emphasises the equal citizenship of women and men and people of all races, by making provision for equal protection under the law, equal rights in the family, and in all areas of public life. In the last three to four decades, this pursuit of gender equality has brought successive challenges to many major areas of social, economic and political life, beginning with a quest for equal representation in the corridors of power, but developing into a broader critique of masculine bias and ‘power politics’, and the search for forms of mutual empowerment.
1. Egyptian Women at the heart of the fight
Farida El-Nakash
While the crisis of the Egyptian economy is growing harder and
following the different protests because of high prices and poor
government oversight and maintenance of Mubarak's socio-
economic policies, the question being debated widely is over
the new Egyptian constitution. The ruling alliance of political Islam imposed this constitution
on the Egyptian people, despite serious objections made by the forces of democracy in the
heart of which are women's organizations, human rights organizations, political parties and
social movements. These groups that represent democratic forces agree that the
constitution is a step backward and is detrimental to the goals of the revolution of January
25 2011: bread .. Freedom .. Social justice .. Human dignity, both in the aggression on public
freedoms, or the overthrow of the independence of the judiciary or the marginalization of
women's rights and restricting freedoms in the name of religion and through infrastructure
authoritarian constitution, which was voted against by 36.10% of the Egyptians, according to
the results announced by the Government formed by the Freedom and Justice Party; the
result was challenged by the National Salvation Front because of the fraud in the
referendum .
What draws attention to this rejection of the constitution is that women of all ages and
different backgrounds, political and social ideologies played key roles in it, as they queued in
front of the committees to vote since early morning until late at night during the 2 days of
the referendum. The polls in front of the committees also showed that a large proportion of
whom voted no, especially educated women while the forces of political Islam exploited
poor women by giving them food and money to vote "yes".
The vote was in protest also on the process of intentional marginalization to women's issues
in the text of the constitution, and before that in the formation of the Constituent Assembly
that wrote it. In addition, the vote was against the formation of the government and
national institutions set up by the new rulers according to their whims and ideological
political interests, since political Islam perceives women as inferior and considered chattel
for the man must be under his custody, whether a father or a brother or a husband or even
a son, and in the propaganda of the Constitution Islamists have focused on the need for
women to obey their husbands; when a woman in rural Egypt told her husband she voted no
he divorced her.
The new constitution singled out women's issues in the tenth article, which comes in the
second chapter titled "social and ethical constituents" and states that (note the selection of
the chapter that where women's issues are mentioned is the one that mainly focuses on
ethics .. the Article says):
2. "The family is the basis of society founded on religion, morality and patriotism and the state
and society is keen to abide by the inherent nature of the Egyptian family and the cohesion
and stability and the consolidation and protection of moral values and as regulated by law.
The State shall ensure maternal and child services free of charge, and reconciling the duties
of women towards her family and her work, and the state pays special care and protection
of women breadwinners, the divorced and the widowed".
The text on the keenness of the state and society to abide by the nature inherent of the
Egyptian family threatens Egyptian women with the emergence of groups for "Promotion of
Virtue and Prevention of Vice" claiming to represent the society to impose certain behavior
and dress code on women, which had happened in a limited way ahead of the Constitution
when a young man was killed because he was walking with a girl, and a teacher cut the hair
of two unveiled female students, and a sheikh accused an actress of being a prostitute
because art is forbidden.
This text decided that the primary role of women is reproduction without reference to their
political rights, a text that corresponds with the thought of political Islam on women which
limits the place of women to their home, it is also advisable to hide behind the veil or
headscarf because women raise concern and discord in the public sphere.
You would observe that the Constitution did not refer to the commitment towards
covenants and international conventions signed by Egypt, and the International Convention
for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and the Universal
Declaration on violence against women; there had been widespread controversy among
women's organizations on the one hand and women of the Freedom and Justice ruling party
On the other hand about the legality of female genital mutilation, which had been abolished
by the decision of the Minister of Health a few years ago. The party seeks to reverse that
decision defending circumcision, although it is proven that circumcision has nothing to do
with religion…But the position is a manifestation of male dominance that aimed at
subjugating women by all means, including violence against them physically and morally,
economically and politically.
During the writing of the Constitution Salafis insisted during discussions to cancel a
paragraph saying "there is no distinction between the Egyptians because of sex, religion,
declaring explicitly that it is not permissible to establish equality of men and women nor
Muslims and Christians". However, the U.S. administration still supports the system of
political Islam in Egypt.
Despite these conditions and practices that are hostile to women, the women's
organizations and human rights organizations and democratic parties continue to work and
mobilize not only against the constitution, which appears to be fallen realistically, despite
the results of the referendum, but against all economic and the new legal and social policies
which the glorious January 25 revolution stood for; this revolution that interacts with factors
on the ground as seen in its second phase and women are in the heart of them.
