Norway - can we learn from them?

Women in Norway versus women in the Arab States.

Both areas are oil rich societies, yet the contrast in women's equality is staggering as is the standard of living.

Norway has two laws which amazed me.  Government must have forty percent representation by females. The second law is more interesting, all company boards must have 40 percent representation by women. 

Recently in Egypt, women applied for hundreds of government positions, yet were granted 2% only.  A start.

Do you think we would be in this unethical financial debacle if all our boards held 40% female representation?
