compared to those in my own country, and that is true.

And we're not talking about women exhibiting better human rights. We're talking about women's rights being safe guarded and ensured in a country/region.

While Qatar may not apply certain Islamic rules anymore officially, it is clear that women here do not enjoy the same level of freedom as men do in a wide variety of areas. Whether you think that is officially sanctioned or whether that is religion or whether it is culture..to me, it doesn't matter. It's not the same.

Things are slowly changing and improving, but in no way is Qatar better in women's rights than Canada.
