What is the arab Spring? It is known as a wave of demonstrations, protest and a civil war and started with a man who was selling food on the street and was kicked off because he had no permit. And he made a history in december 2010 in Tunisia when he demonstrated and set himself in fire in front of people and the government because no one wanted to listen to his problem. Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, yemen, Syria and many more countries have been influenced and agreed that they all have the same problem. The employment rate is low and almost no one has money. The government want nothing to do with the civil people and never ask or question about their living situation. So people are on the streets protesting for better polices and laws to create a better living situation but are not heard by the people of the parliament. Most of the protist are met with violent resistance and people will die or get injured. They are putting their life in risk in order to change the place the live in. Most of the people that have control over the countries is led under a dictatorship and one of the many protest in Tunisia led to a fall of the regime, so that Zin el- Abidine Ben Ali dictator had to flea and give up his ruling over the country.
Many of the protest are followed by the news papers and national news and even facebook has a big input by keeping us updated with the following of this fighting for civil and human rights.
Even woman have been involved and some have started writing a new constitution and been elected into the national constitution assembly. Woman in this country are very well educated and have passion for literature. In those countries woman were always behind in terms of leadership and opportunities in politics and business. So nowadays woman are accepted and appreciated and have even a stronger and more ambitious will to create a better future for other female generations. But there is still much more work to do in many countries and it has been still not accepted everywhere.
