This exclusion may be intentional

Every revolution, powered by US, has made it worse for Women, in Iraq, in particular.
Now we have seen same in Egypt.

During the uprising that toppled Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak women stood shoulder to shoulder with men in Cairos Tahrir Square, pressing the revolution´s demands for freedom, justice and dignity.

But those who hoped the revolution would make them equal partners in Egypt´s future claim they may be worse off now than under Mubarak´s authoritarian rule,

writes IPS.

One particular point of contention is the wording of Article 68 in the draft constitution, which states that women are equal to men in political, economic, and social life provided that equality does not contradict the provisions of Sharia (Islamic law).
Rights groups have opposed the article’s ambiguous religious framing.

Nehad Abu Komsan, director of the Egyptian Centre for Women´s Rights ECWR, explains that Sharia has in many instances been used to reinforce negative social attitudes towards women and impose restrictions on their freedom.
Linking women´s rights to undefined provisions of Islamic law opens the door to radical interpretations that can be used against women.

Sharia can be interpreted in many different ways.
Although Egypt´s Islamist-led government has not completely ignored women, its policy changes have focused on paving the way towards a more conservative, patriarchal society.
The way out of the situation of women is in their own hands.

The Egyptian Centerfor Women’s Rights condemned the appointment of new governors in Egypt that excluded women, describing it as disappointing and contradictory to the principles of citizenship, justice and equality.
In a press statement, the Order said that the appointments was contradict the principles of the January 25 2011 Revolution; the revolution where women participated effectively in all its phases and stood side by side with their male counterparts.
The Egyptian Centerfor Women’s Rights is worried that this exclusion may be intentional with the pretext that now is not the convenient time to talk about women’s rights, the statement read on April 19, 2011.
Now the situation in not better.
