Four Percent Of All Arab Women Use Internet
2005-06-30
BEIRUT, June 30 (Bernama) -- Only four percent of Arab women use the Internet, the Moroccan news agency, MAP reported Wednesday, quoting the UN Economic and Social Commission For Western Asia (ECWA).

Moroccan women represent 30pc of this figure, noted the director of the Women Center in ECWA at a regional meeting held here... Emirati and Lebanese women topped the list of Internet users in the Arab world.

Women represent nearly 42 percent of Internet users in the world, including 51 percent in Canada and 37 percent in Italy and Germany... The director of the Center pointed out that Arab countries are heading towards a society of new information and communication technologies as the number of Internet users reached 12 millions in 2004, against nine millions in 2003.

#2  Since when are Moroccan women considered Arab? Another great UN "study" followed up by requests for more money to "get all the wommmenz online." I'm o.k. with that, as long as their homepage automatically links to Rantburg or Free Republic.

#1  Do their husbands know?

Morocco with 30% doesn't surprise me - it was fairly liberal in 1978; maybe that's why they have grown so many fundamentalist killers.
