Women In Saudi Arabia:  Here in America we as women are extremely blessed to have the rights and to feel some safety in our everyday lives. Other women in countries around the world are not nearly as lucky as us. For example I'll be discussing the women of Saudi Arabia, who have been a hot topic in the world of human rights. The picture above I got from a video created by the Human Rights Watch which shows 10 Reasons Why Saudi Women Flee which I have linked here.

For example I've included a direct screenshot from their home screen to show their timeline of events. The special coverage the site is covering is "France holds national day of mourning, final memorial service for Chirac " with live videos and updates. The site also created a web document showing the world of Jacques Chirac with loads of interactivity. It has links to all of his work with different places around the globe like Europe, the Middle east, the pacific, Africa, etc...
