Beautiful children and families in the Middle East

There are a number of ways that MECA strive to assist these families and children, they do so through the form of direct aid which includes the distribution of medicines, medical supplies, food, school supplies and other items such as clothes, books and toys. Since their initial launch, they have been successful in sending more that $19 million in aid to the Middle East. There is also the matter of financial support which MECA also tries to do. This financial support is primarily given to the community organizations that are based in the West Bank and Gaza. Like MECA, these organizations are concerned about meeting the needs of the Palestinian children. These may include kindergartens, libraries, clinics, parks, teams and other programs such as music, art and dance. They also try to educate people on an international level on the lives of the children of the Middle East and how US policy affects them.

They aim to do so in any way that they possibly can and make a meaningful mark in the lives of the children. The will do so through any medium that is most beneficial to the child whether through food, scholarships and medical help. 

Middle East Children's Alliance

The Middle East Children’s Alliance, also known as MECA, is a no profit organization that works in the Middle East to fight for the rights of children. In an effort to achieve this goal, this organization has made it their duty to inform the international communities such as the United States on the effects of the US policy on the children that live in the Middle East. MECA also offers humanitarian aid and involves themselves in projects that are geared towards uplifting the youth. The organization was formed in the year 1988 by Howard Levine and Barbara Lubin. This was after a visit that Barbara made to Palestine and Israel after the first Intifada. What Barbara witnessed in these countries was poverty, injustice of the people and violence towards the locals. It was subsequent to witnessing this that Barbara teamed with Howard to be the voice of these children and undergo different projects in order to raise money to assist these children. They decided to do this in the West Bank and Gaza.
For the first two years that this organization was running, MECA led many delegations to Palestine. They were also very keen on assisting those cooperatives that were headed by women in West Bank and Gaza that were aimed at providing food. They also organized a few demonstrations that were greatly geared towards the ending of the US support of Israel. MECA was also the organizer of educational events that were intended to educate and inform about Palestine. On their first shipment to Palestine, the organization included warm clothes and baby formula. Although the organization is based in Berkeley, California, they support the children and families in Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine.

Culture and Tradition in the Arab Countries

Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest Muslim Country. It is situated in West Asia and it’s the second largest state of the Arab world. As this is a Muslim country, its culture is strictly based on Islamic traditions. The general dress code of Saudi Arabia is similar to the other Arab countries. 
The general dress code of Saudi Arabia is also based on Islamic culture and traditions. As Islam encourages conservative dresses for men and women, the dress code of Arab countries follow the Islamic dress codes. Women have to wear conservative and loose fitting clothes and veils. Men also have to wear proper dresses to cover their body. They have to follow the principles of hijab.
Men of Saudi Arabia are seen to wear long clothes mainly white colored long dresses inside and pajamas.  The ankle length dress worn by the men of Saudi Arabia is known as Thawb. The traditional headdress worn by the Arab men are known as Ghutrah, which is fastened by Agal.  
The dress worn by the women of Saudi Arabia is known as Abayah. This is a full black cloth which is long enough to cover the whole body. The women have to cover their faces with Niqab.  The dress code of Saudi women is such conservative that other persons can hardly see their eyes and in some cases the women also wear a veil over their eyes. Any non-Muslim women living in Saudi Arabia also have to wear Abayah as it is the law of the country.  
The dress code of foreigners are not that much strict like the locals. But they have to maintain the local trends and customs. So foreign men are not allowed to wear shorts in public and they have to wear long trousers and shirts. Foreign women can wear loose fitting skirts below the knee. They should wear dresses with at least elbow length sleeves.

What is the Common Dress Code in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia is one of the most tightly controlled countries in the world, and holds one-fourth of the world’s oil reserves. Home of the two most holy places in Islam, Mecca and Medina, it is ruled by the House of Saud since its recognition in 1932. It has a prosperous society due mainly to oil exports.
Being an Arab and an Islamic country, traditional values and cultural practices are adapted into the legal prohibitions, which is applicable even to non-Muslims who are in Saudi Arabia. Non-Muslims are forbidden from publicly practicing their faith, although they are free to do so in the privacy of their own homes. Alcoholic beverages and pork products are prohibited. Foreigners are expected to follow local custom especially in public places. Dress should be in accordance with Islamic laws, and is closely monitored by the religious police who are responsible for the enforcement of the dress code.
Saudi men wear the traditional dress called “thobe” that cover the entire body with a checkered head cloth called “keffiyeh.” This flowing robe-like traditional dress is worn white- or light-colored in warm weather and dark-colored in cool weather. Regardless of occupation and social standing, all Saudi men wear a “thobe.”  A “thobe” and head covering may seem to be lot clothing, but they are ideal for Saudi Arabia’s dry climate, and as a protection from sandstorms.
Women must not wear clothes that reveal anything about her body. They wear in public the black-colored, full-body “abaya” and the black headpiece called “niqab” which covers the entire face and body, leaving a small slit opening for the eyes.
Although foreign men are not required to wear a “thobe” and a headdress, they must wear conservative clothes. The standard dress code for foreign men is long trousers and long-sleeved shirts. Foreign women are required to wear an “abaya” with or without a headpiece. Although the wearing of a headpiece is optional, it is better to bring one along to avoid harassment from the religious police or as a means of avoiding the attention of aggravated men.

Saudi Arabia is moving towards Modernization

The kingdom of Saudi Arabia is known by many around the world as a kingdom that observe certain culture due to their religion such as job specification between men and women. There are jobs which are described to be for men and other women, one of these jobs is supermarket cashiers who are all women. This is changing slowly and the government is determined to change the opinion of the public. Women are not supposed to drive.
Further steps to modernize the Kingdom such as University where male and female students share the same class have been done by King Abdullah. He also gave a green light to media to openly raise concern on economic problems and criticize decisions made by the ruling council. Women were allowed to pursue higher degrees and compete for top jobs. Those who opposed his decision were fired.
King Abdullah gained control of fatwas and answers to any question will be given by official panel on how the Saudis are supposed to live. Independent Sheiks among them Sheik Adel Al-kalbani have been in record in challenging the ban of music arguing that as long as a song does not promote sin the there is no need to ban it from playing in the local medias.
They also eliminated Trans-border Migration and large scale importation of labor which has helped to the youth to be employed in the private sectors. Many cities of the kingdom are in urban area.
In 2007 Grand Mufti urged the youth not to join jihad in Iraq or any other country. The kingdom was under attack consistence attacks from the Al-Qaeda but the clerics never accepted or approved the “Holy War”.
Free media is among the key area that Saudi Arabia is using in moving to modernization, top official Sheikh Saleh lost his job as the Chief of the supreme Judiciary Council after a fatwa in 2008 where he said that the owners of TV stations that showed immoral content to the public should be killed. His firing was seen as due to influence of the billionaires who own the TV stations. The most important thing is that Saudi Arabia is opening up it is not like old days.

Forex is inclusive of all the currencies of the world and sees a figure of over $1.9 trillion being traded on a day to day basis.

World's third laziest nation, Saudi Arabia

It can be shocking news to hear that Saudi Arabia is among the nations that are laziest regardless of the fact that it is known to have plenty of natural resources. World wide, Saudi Arabia has been shortlisted to be among the top three slothful nations. Also, research shows that over sixty percent of grown up people in Saudi Arabia neglect doing exercise which are important to physical healthy growth. In turn, we all know that an active body and a healthy one will motivate the person to work hard and not just desire to always sit down and relax. That is called laziness. 
According to a certain published data, in Saudi Arabia you will find out that a very small percentage of people especially women stay active all the way through their life span. Why? We all know that in this kingdom females have limited access to their rights. 
The fact that Saudi Arabia is rich in natural  resources has highly contributed towards the laziness of locals who reside there. Everyone does not struggle to put a meal on a table and this turns persons mean to be dormant. But regardless of the fact that Saudi Arabia is rich in natural wealth should not make its people to sit  back and become lazy. Like for women, why should they just concentrate with household works and once they are done all the other hours of the day they are just idle. I think Saudi kingdom should come to a point of making a decision and come up with several activities which will make the people of the land be active always and stop being lazy. Remember, laziness can lead to certain ailments and also, as the saying goes “ a idle and lazy mind/body is the devils workshop” 
Saudi kingdom, let's work on eliminating the famous laziness.

Saudi Arabian women unveiled, Muslim Young Girls

As we all know that Saudi Arabian women live under a certain law based on their tradition and religion. Americans has known a lot in Saudi Arabia and as it is known to be the best leading land for natural resources especially petroleum, this fact lead most outsiders to engage themselves with Saudi for trade. 
The only thing that worries and catches attention of the United States of America when it comes to trading with Saudi Arabians especially with Saudi Arabian women if the freedom differences for these ladies. At the level of the gut, this not only bothers United States but it bothers all people worldwide. It hurts to come across women who lack freedom and their rights regardless of whether it be their believe to their kingdom. But to Saudi Arabia it is hard to come across unveiled women because at the very early age they are trained to be always on the long sleeved veil.
As a Saudi Arabian woman there is a possible to free yourself from any kind of slavery and wake up your fellow women. Not all women in Saudi Arabia are still connected to veil tradition. There are some who were born into this and were raised in the culture but at some point they decide to stand firm on their feet and now they are free and can do all things women of other countries are doing including car driving which has been forbidden for Saudi Arabian women. Find Saudi Arabian women unveiled and you will wonder why do they veil themselves hiding all their beauty. We can all come together and help our fellow women to come out such slave. 
There are more challenges facing Saudi Arabian women but once one see a chance to disconnect themselves from it, life is more mobile and more enjoyable. Saudi Arabia women unveiled can really do a lot. They can be reliable and start their own businesses, own their own cars and drive them without mans security and can achieve much in life. All needed for Saudi Arabian women is freedom for their rights and success will follow and changed women will be seen.

At round second half of the 19th century the movement of Arab nationalism begun alongside other movements in the Ottoman Empire. The Arab world demarcates its territory from the west Atlantic Ocean to the eastern Arab Sea, the Indian Ocean forming the southeastern portion while the Mediterranean Sea being the northern end bordering Horn of Africa and the middle east. Arabs trace their roots to the Arabian Peninsula. Nonetheless those countries who have no direct relations to this homeland of origin, enjoy being considered Arabs by the virtue of the Arab League regional organization . The Arab League which was founded in 1945, has it main agenda being to fight for the affairs and interest of Arab countries under the Pan-Arabism. It comprises of around 22 member countries.  Basically, all members of the Arab League form the Arab countries. The most outstanding feature of the Arab countries is the Arabic language spoken by the citizens of the Arab countries. Also the Islamic religion is the most uniting factor after the Arabic language amongst the Arab countries.  This the brings out the standard definition of the Arab countries .The underlying  definition being an Arab is any person speaking Arabic  language and living  in an Arab speaking -country.

Scientific controversies revolve around what this last phrase means . They do not refer to the outer surface of women's clothing , which requires that they cover every part of her body , without any full veil ? Or it does not give exemption and referred to the face and hands , as well as traditional female ornaments : such as kohl , rings, bracelets and make-up ?

There are instructions to see the Quranic additional as mysterious and much discussed on the basis of that , for women to draw " Muffler " ( or scarf ) to cover "jayb" ( or bosom / upper chest) , and " Wives and daughters of the Prophet and the women of the believers to draw their " Jalabib "( or cloaks ) close round them .

Lifestyle of the Unemployed in Dubai

Even though the unemployment rate is very low in Dubai, there are individuals who do not have jobs. Typically, migrant workers who are from the sub-continent or Dubai nationals are the ones out of work and there is virtually no cases of unemployment among Westerners living in this flourishing city that offers a tax-free way of living.
The lifestyle of the unemployed in Dubai will be dependent on a number of factors. For example, nationals who have attained a certain standard of living and have a financial cushion that can maintain them for a little while will be less frantic as it relates to getting a new job. However, foreign workers have a one-month time frame in which to secure employment before their visa sponsorship expires. 
The 30-day deadline makes for a stressful job hunt and in order to be successful at getting a new job, these individuals are required to be very resourceful and active, personally sending applications to a number of different companies, seeking assistance from recruitment companies and talking to associates and former colleagues about possible vacancies at their places of employment. If the reason for job loss is not because of bad performance, the former employer should be supportive of the job seeking endeavours. 
It is a lot easier to find a job in Dubai than in a lot of other countries and there is the potential for greater rewards in Dubai. However, the social security system for foreign workers is very far from being comprehensive. Foreigners who live in Dubai can access their medical facilities but unlike many big cities around the world, there are no unemployment benefits or any similar benefits for individuals living in Dubai. In the event of a job loss, the individual is left in a situation in which he or she must simply start the process of looking for a new job.

SAUDI WOMEN DRIVING PROTEST

On the bright day of October 26th 2013, a beacon of hope enlightened the realms of Saudi Arabia. Hope that touted that ban on women drivers may well finally cease to exist. 
The reason? More than 60 Saudi women stood up and got behind the wheels of their cars so as to assert themselves as an important part of the society. Many activists reported that this was the first time that Saudi women came together to “stir the stagnant waters” (13 videos and another 50 phone messages were received in this regard) and purported that it is time to change the law against women drivers in the kingdom.
It all started with 16,600 signatures on an online petition that spread like a wildfire on various social media platform. Millions of twitter users and Facebook fans were put to the use giving a whole new and an unprecedented dimension to the wind of change that brought the message “recognizing the rights of women to drive a car in accordance with the principles of Sharia and traffic laws” is of utmost importance.
Video of women driving cars were uploaded to the YouTube evincing that women are yearning for the long awaited change in Saudi society. While this movement found many staunch supporters from all over the globe, still some powerful clerics termed this protest as "licentiousness". Some of them raised eyebrows with statement that says that driving a car harms a woman's ovaries.
Amid all this protest and counter-protest, one thing is clear that women of Saudi Arabia are now ready to foster a society that will treat women at par with men, a society that will suppress disparity of sexes and safeguard the rights of one and all, a society that will not be marred by blinkered thinking but be embellished by fruits of equality.

Telecommunications in the United Arab Emirates

United Arab Emirates (UAE) was one of the first Arab countries to begin a comfortable relationship with foreigners. The UAE began seeking investments, commercial relations and methods of telecommunications. Telecommunication is a means of communicating over long distances using different methods of technology. Compared globally, the UAE were 59th to install landline telephones and they were in the 61st position investing in mobile phones.
Telecommunications in the United Arab Emirates is controlled by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) who works to regulate information communications and telecommunications. As an independent corporation they maintain sustainability by providing telecom services to all provinces of the country as well as by controlling the services provided to the customers and shareholders. The service providers follow rules and regulations set by the TRA and UAE. 
Broadcasting media systems (i.e. televisions and radios) are not as commonly had as telephones in the Emirate. The broadcasting systems are used generally by the government only. 
The internet is allowed but is tightly monitored; many sites are banned and access is restricted when trying to open any Israeli internet domain; the TRA is protecting political information and preventing any unmoral behaviour. For this reason, according to Reporters without Borders, the URA is “Under Surveillance”. 
The United Arab Emirates attempts to infiltrate advanced and modern technologies into their country. The infrastructure of telecommunications has evolved since the TRA became established in 2003. Until just recently the only telecom broadcaster was Etisalat but now Du is also a competitor. The United Arab Emirates boasts a new system in the Middle East; the newest ICT technology hosts a whole new spectrum of a monitoring system. It holds its place as the second most powerful in the world and it will span the area of the UAE effectively. Today, the UAE holds a respectable position among the countries of the world.

Life of an expat woman in UAE

The term UAE, to most of western people and the rest of the world that is not part of the domain, sends shivers down the spins of a good number of individuals who barely no nothing about the general life of UAE. Expat women from outside UAE have had to answer hoards of perplexing questions regarding how they cope with life in this men dominated region. Frankly speaking, the stereotype surrounding the general life of a woman or to be precise an expat woman in UAE is by greater heights overwhelming. Majority of the world view life in UAE as being highly oppressive especially in the contest of women.
There is no smoke without fire. This is very true. Some of the things that happen to women in UAE as claimed by other people are true. For example, there are some things that a woman is regarded inferior to do. A good example is when a certain bank in UAE orders women not to open bank accounts for their children and also women not being able to make expensive purchases in the family. In addition, women are also provided with their own private taxis, meaning, in UAE women and children are not supposed to use taxis that are specially meant for men.
This sounds like total oppression to women, but how wrong can one be, if he or she clings to such backward reasoning. The scope of respect accorded to women leave alone expat women in UAE is by far commendable. Women are accorded extra care and respect in this other world than the majority may know. For instance, if you walk into any banking hall, you are most likely to find only men in queues or if necessary a small queue separate for women. Women in UAE are never allowed to queue for services with their male counterparts and so are expat women.
Unlike in western countries, it is only in UAE that you will find dedicated metro carriages for women and children only leave alone their private taxis. Generally speaking, the life of an expat woman is greatly enhanced through the traditions and culture in UAE than any other part of the world.



What Countries to be Considered as Arab???

The answer for the question is not as simple as it looks to be. However, hearing the word “Arab”, in general generates a feeling in our minds a Muslim nation living in areas close to Israel and in Saudi Arabia along with Gulf States; while it is far from being a whole scene; Arabs comprising apart from Muslims living in the below mentioned geographical region to Christians particularly living in parts of Lebanon and Syria and some Hebrews from Israel. 
Geographically the Arab world is considered that part of the globe which encompasses the region from the east of northern Africa to the Arabian Sea and its north to south boundaries extends from north of Mediterranean sea to the extent of Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean.  In general language dominates this area are mostly with different Arabic dialects , though other languages ​​are also in practice in this area .
Can ask the Arabs as a nation and what is the definition of a nation? The Oxford Dictionary defines the nation . " Large group of people united by a common origin , history , culture, or language , inhabiting a state or territory . Particular " Through this definition, we can not consider Arabs as a nation because apart from the other indicators languages ​​such as same culture, the same traditions, along with national Board itself , and above all, an area or a specific piece of land is not common in different countries among Arabic speakers . Certainly , we consider them as a group of people who live in a different continent speak the same language .
"Those who belong to the ethnic group of Arab and Arab people or the Arab nation , and speak a form of Arabic , and consider it their " natural language " ; on the characteristics of history and culture of the Arabs as their inheritance ; confirmation Arab identity or consciousness" - Maxime Rodinson
21 countries are meeting the criteria of UNESCO as Arab countries. However Wikipedia includes the Palestinian Authority, which governs over parts of West Bank and Gaza Strip as an Arab state. Following is a list of Arab Countries. 

  • Algeria                               
  • Morocco
  • Bahrain                                                  
  • Oman
  • Djibouti

Real Case Scenario on Sexuality and Reproductive Health in the Middle East

Real Case Scenario on Sexuality and Reproductive Health in the Middle East
 Most of the people in Middle East, more so women and youths are greatly affected with some of the cultural norms as they are not able to seek reproductive health services. Health seeking behaviour patterns attest to this. However, it is essential to find away systems that can penetrate the socio-cultural lifestyle of this population. Below are some the case scenarios that require urgent and integrated reproductive health policies and solutions are:
 1) Family Planning Services: It is a fact that women living in this area do not have a say on family planning. Women often are regarded as sex and birth beings. This is to the detrimental of their health as they do not have a right to access reproductive health services without consent of their husbands. To deal with issue there is a need for interactive forum where all the opinion leaders from health, civic and religious divide to discuss openly and adopt workable solutions that will improve women’s health. Apart from the Family Planning, other areas that require intervention are Maternal Health Care and Child Health Care amidst the reproductive healthcare services.
 2) Youth reproductive health initiatives: It cannot be denied that, despite strict cultural principles the youths will tend to sway away from the norms. Most of the youths are affected as they are not able to seek for timely medical intervention due to social stigma. This exposes the youths to diseases such as Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and cancers. Also, self induced abortions that endangers the life of the young girls. The potential of such young population requires a comprehensive reproductive health initiative that will target this important segment of Middle East population.
 It is worth to note that without sound policies on, sexuality and reproductive health, in the Middle East, most of the global development and public health objectives such as millennium development goals are far from being realized.
.

Sexuality and Reproductive Health in the Middle East

Sexual and reproductive health has a wide ambit consisting of health related issues regarding sexual relationships, pregnancies and births. As it deals with most private aspect of an individual’s life it is not considered appropriate in Middle East to talk openly about sex and other related issues. Since being a region dominated by Islamic teachings it does not promote sexual awareness hence not many people in Middle East are aware of the sexuality and reproductive health issues. One of the five people in the Middle East is in age group of 15-24. Surprisingly, young people’s reproductive health issue is not included in the health agendas.
These people in Middle East are living their lives differently from their ancestors. They are getting sexually mature enough pretty earlier by which they have sexual relationships before marriage. Such sexual relationships in early age puts them at a high risk of sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions and many other issues.

Saudi Arabia World's Third Laziest Nation?

Not one of the finest moments for the people of Middle East, sedentary or what sometimes is called as “deskbound” phenomena has engulfed a majority of population of Saudi Arabia, 68.8% to be exact.

The study showed that Saudi Arabia has an astounding 68.8% of sloth population that are now venerable to maladies like obesity, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes etc. thanks to the lack of any major physical activity in day to day life. 
This might sound bad but the worst part is yet to come. Experts purport that 5.3 million people lost their lives due to inactivity, which is same as deaths due to use of tobacco, making these statistics of graver concern in relation to the modern times. 
What are the causes that pushed the people of Saudi Arabia into the abyss of sedentary?

Pick and drop services for practically anything and anywhere, lack of awareness along with subjugation of female populace to choose healthy habits and pecuniary edge over most of the nations to afford any luxury, has left the people of Saudi Arabia is a big lurch as far as their heath issues are concerned.
