This document represents a paper on Women’s Right to Abortion after Rape in Sudan. At first sight, Sudan’s liberalization of abortion rights in 1991 would seem to be welcome step forward for Sudanese women. The Islamist state expanded the circumstances under which a woman can seek a legal abortion to include rape. At second sight, however, the law reform seems to have had little practical significance for rape victims, since it is extremely difficult to prove rape and failure to do so may result in prosecution for zina. While emergency contraceptives were distributed in the war struck Darfur region as part of rape kits, the 2009 ICC process made it considerably more difficult for women to access them, both because of the expulsion of international NGOs distributing rape kits and because the government has insisted that only government hospitals may distribute emergency contraceptive. Most, if not all, Sudanese women who become pregnant after rape either end up with an unwanted child or seek an illegal abortion. Although educated middle and upper class women may have the means to access private clinics and networks of medical personnel who can perform safe illegal abortions, uneducated and poor women who seek unsafe abortion performed by untrained midwives are significantly more likely to be arrested and more likely to face post-abortion complications

This document represents a study on Saudi Arabia’s Male Guardianship System. Saudi Arabia’s male guardianship system remains the most significant impediment to women’s rights in the country despite limited reforms over the last decade, Human Rights Watch said in the report. Adult women must obtain permission from a male guardian to travel abroad, marry, or be released from prison, and may be required to provide guardian consent to work or get health care. These restrictions last from birth until death, as women are, in the view of the Saudi state, permanent legal minors. The 79-page report, “Boxed In: Women and Saudi Arabia’s Male Guardianship System,” examines in detail the panoply of formal and informal barriers women in Saudi Arabia face when attempting to make decisions or take action without the presence or consent of a male relative. As one 25-year-old Saudi woman told Human Rights Watch, “We all have to live in the borders of the boxes our dads or husbands draw for us.” In some cases, men use the permission requirements to extort large sums of money from female dependents.
