Female Internationals
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Before discussing the issues presented in the Ellen Moore case, one must recognize that there is an underlying reason why there is an issue over gender in many foreign countries compared to the U.S.. The condition exists because it is a social construct that many human rights backwards countries still condone and reinforce through three primary forces dominated by the patriarchy: government (i.e., law); economics (employment and education); religion. Bahrain is an excellent example of this with its double standard for men and women in all three areas. When society is structured so that women are prevented from having access to the means of self-development, it is only natural that women are considered inherently inferior to men.

Thus, it appears Moore feels limited professionally and personally in Bahrain.
The dissatisfaction apparent in Moore’s comments above, suggests her relocation to Saudi Arabia is problematic.
