Actually, they can't even go out in the street without a male member of their family - they can be stoned or shot for doing so - and they are being stoned or shot.



I read an article about public executions being held and that 80% of those executed are women.  They are executed for such crimes as being in public with a man not of their family, or not wearing the burqa, or allowing a bare arm to be viewed in public.  Widows are not allowed to work or to re-marry, so they have to beg in the streets.  



It would be almost impossible for these women to fight against the men under these circumstances.  When American women fought to gain the right to vote, no one was executed for standing up for her rights.
