The woes of women in many countries, elsewhere too

Today on an RTE news programme Channel 4's Jon Snow reported from the Iranian capital on the elections taking place in the country today.

In his informative report he made an aside as to the relative equality women exerienced in the Islamic republic and he pointed out how Iranian woman fared better than women in many other Islamic countries.

It would be intersting to know how many Catholics tuned into RTE Radio One would have considered themselves allied with Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and many other Islamic countries.
