There have been some interesting developments in Egypt with regards to women’s rights.
The proposed new laws concern the following:
1) Raising the legal age of marriage for girls to 18.
2) Female genital mutilation is a crime punishable by law (otherwise known as female circumcision)
3) And most controversial but thrilling of all, unwed mothers can register their newborn on their own and give the infant their own name. That means if a woman has a child out of wedlock, she can still legally register it as her own.

I know I should be keeping this link for a Sunday Fundays adventure but I just couldn’t resist sharing the luxury of the Singapore Airlines Suites. Surely an excuse to travel.
