It sounds like she is very much needed too. I hope she has a long and satisfying career and brings help to a neglected community. Excellent. It sounds like she is very much needed too.

They have to confront their own communities' reluctance to support these endeavors, and then they find themselves in a world where they are singular and don't have the support systems - social, financial, educational - that most of us take for granted. Rania al-Oqbi's achievement, in light of all of this, is truly remarkable. It's not only difficult for Beduin women, the men also find it challenging to reach and remain in higher education.

Hopefully many more young women will be inspired to follow in her footsteps. The program set up through BGU to work with and inspire high school girls toward medicine (which she took part in) is an excellent and needed one --also hopefully one which will be expanded to reach more bright and vibrant young bedouin women.
