United Arab Emirates

Am planning a longer trip next year, and one of the airline companies we're looking at is the United Arab Emirates (gotta choose one that is not likely to go bankrupt before March next year!). But looking at the stats I'm not certain anymore: Women's suffrage denied or conditioned Brunei — Women (and men) have been denied the right to vote or to stand for election since 1962. Lebanon — Partial suffrage. Proof of elementary education is required for women but not for men. Voting is compulsory for men but optional for women. Saudi Arabia — No suffrage for women. The first local elections ever held in the country occurred in 2005. Women were not given the right to vote or to stand for election, although suffrage may be granted by 2009. United Arab Emirates — Limited, but it will be fully expanded by 2010. Vatican City — No suffrage for women; while most men in the Holy See also lack the vote, all persons with suffrage in Papal conclaves (the Cardinals) are male.
