Strange concept of Human Rights.

UPDATE 6/25/12: Saudi Arabia has announced that it will allow female athletes to compete in the Olympics for the first time--a decision welcomed by Human Rights Watch as an "important step forward," but insufficient in addressing the systemic barriers to women playing sports in the kingdom.

 

An eleventh hour change of course to avoid an Olympic ban is a welcome first step, but does not fundamentally alter the dismal and unequal conditions for women and girls in Saudi Arabia. The government should allow women and girls to practice sports in schools and gyms, and add women to the Saudi National Olympic Committee.

These woman should reject such hollow tokens and refuse to participate. It's like allowing Rosa Parks to sit in the front bus seats while denying her humanity in every other way.
