Live Breaking News & Updates on Zainab falak slashgear

happen in cairo, egypt, that's being called there a million woman march. so, nima, tell me about that. but i also want to know are women -- are women fielding more emboldened now before they felt held back? it takes a lot of courage for these women to come out and actually protest. >> well, i think zainab made a really good point. this is new in the arab world. women were very much waves of politicization in the '50s and '60s. what's interesting with the million woman march, women appreciate they were historically there at the vanguard and very much involved in the movement for change. but when it came time to distribute political positions and when it came time to represent in the political bodies, women were sidelined as if there's no longer a place for you now. and this million woman march is really to say we were instrumental in bringing about this change. we deserve to have a place at the table, don.
