    U.N. report highlights mass displacement of Libyans by violence

The report says a “climate of fear” has made citizens reluctant to speak about militia abuses.

    Opinion: How To Improve Educational Opportunities For Saudi Women

    Public separation of women and men is one of the most vexing issues facing Saudi colleges for girls. According to Article 155 of the Educational Policy of Saudi Arabia, mixing the sexes is forbidden at all levels of education, except in pre-school education.  For over 40 years, the “studio” system has torn nearly 22 universities apart. Only medical colleges and universities are exempted from this educational system. This has allowed women studying medicine to realize great success worldwide, according to a 2010 report on Saudi women’s achievements by the Saudi Ministry of Higher Education.
