Diamondgirl, it's too bad you won't be able to attend the Conference as it sounds like you are someone who has deinitely benefited from women's empowerment in Qatar.

So instead, why don't you buy tickets for your families housemaids to go. Housemaids in the gulf, more than anybody, need to feel the spirit of empowerment. I think they could definitely offer a valuable perspective.

I think all the Qatari women who are successful and have benefited from women'empowerment in Qatar should spnsor their housemaids to go. More than anything else, I think this gesture would be in the SPIRIT of empowerment.

ps. I'm not being sarcastic, I'm serious. Whatya think?
