Freedom is a relative term. The women there didn't think they were being deprived of certain liberties, they thought they were being protected by the men in their families. They thought the men had their best interests at heart.

I enjoyed my time there. Watching them worship and pray and living in a crime-free place is truly a humbling experience.

I never experienced any violence there. I felt completely comfortable, respected and safe. I could walk home from playing tennis at 10 o'clock at night ? I wouldn't do that anywhere in America.
