Muscat: Oman is one of the most advanced countries in the Gulf region as far as women's rights are concerned, according Dr Nora N. Alnahedh, resident representative (GCC) of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). In a written statement to Gulf News, the Muscat-based-senior UNFPA official said that since the Renaissance in 1970, the Omani government has actively promoted female education with impressive results. "Omani women have been working in various fields and actively participate in the national development process. Omani women also enjoy a lot of political, social and economic rights," she said on the occasion of International Women's Day on Saturday. The UN official added UNFPA's regional office had focused on the development of Omani women since it opened in 2006.

of course, the Omani woman has taken her social, political and economic rights. In addition, Sultan Qaboos repeatedly makes an emhasis on integrating the Omani women into every activity held in the country. As a result the Omani woman is now considered a rival to the Omani men.

Well, glad to hear that the Omani woman is now considered to be a rival to the Omani men, but there's a long way to go for women all over the world..
