In countries like Egypt, prior to 2012, women enjoyed their rights to education. In fact, it was one of the few countries in the Middle East that nearly half of its college students were female. This changed “when the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political party, came into power” during the Arab Spring Revolution (Deseret News). This new government wrote a constitution limiting women’s rights, including their right to education. According to Al Jazeera America, one clause asserted women’s rights to education as long as “it doesn’t conflict with her domestic duties”(“Women losing education rights in Egypt since Arab Spring”). This claim suggests that women ought to prioritize their familial responsibilities over their self-interest. As a result of this new constitution being enforced, numerous women took to the streets, demanding the amendment of such a constitution.
