the worst countries for women are the ones run by the Mullahs. In those countries literally any middle aged cleric can ride in on a camel and marry your 14 year old daughter and there is nothing the parents can do about it. That is the Sudan situation. Iraq is much much better, women can work there. In fact, "Dr Germ" was a woman. Iraq is a paradise compared to Sudan.

<<Remains of toxic bullets litter Iraq But Ms. Hamid's stand is just four paces away from a burnt-out Iraqi tank, destroyed by - and contaminated with - controversial American depleted-uranium (DU) bullets. Local children play "throughout the day" on the tank, Hamid says, and on another one across the road. No one has warned the vendor in the faded, threadbare black gown to keep the toxic and radioactive dust off her produce. The children haven't been told not to play with the radioactive debris. They gather around as a Geiger counter carried by a visiting reporter starts singing when it nears a DU bullet fragment no bigger than a pencil eraser. It registers nearly 1,000 times normal background radiation levels on the digital readout. csmonitor.com
