CNN) -- Last month, a delegation of members from the U.S. House of Representatives, which I was honored to lead, met with inspiring women of North Africa who are helping to change the world.
In Cairo, Egypt; Tunis, Tunisia; and Tripoli, Libya, we held discussions with women who are committed to ensuring that women have a seat at the table and are able to succeed in this rapidly changing and strategically important region. It is an uphill climb, but there is no better time than the present.
The women we met were outspoken in their belief that the new governments must be truly democratic, and that longstanding biases against full participation by women in their society must be abolished. These women came from many different backgrounds and viewpoints, yet they are aware that while their moment is now, the obstacles are great.

Sure we can. Just watch.
How's that whole Assad thing working out for you, Nancy?
But don’t let them emulate OUR Constitution, Ginsburg doesnt think it is cool anymore..
...which ones, the women that build bombs or transport them?
Or maybe she means the ones who raise their kids to kill other kids
I’m surprised any MSM site allows comments anymore..
"The religion of machismo, slavery and wife-beating, YES! But I like it too!"
Too late Nancy thanks to Barry/Democrats/and libs the Arab Spring has intalled radical muslim regimes. So the line should be The Democrats aid Muslims war on women!!
What the Arabs do with their women is their business, not mine.
“Im surprised any MSM site allows comments anymore..”
Now that so many of them require FB etc. registration, they know who the commenters are.
Typical liberal “With my guilt and your gelt, we can do anything!” Just who is she proposing to send over there to ensure “women’s rights” in those backward holes. It won’t be the children of the liberal elite who would do the fighting and dying. Maybe she should go there and explain the nuances of women’s rights and enlighten them with her superior intellect.

Nancy, Obama and a few Republican stooges usher al Qaeda allies into power in North Africa via the “Arab Spring”, and then wring their hands that what we knew would happen, happens.
I mean, I know she’s stupid, but no one is THIS stupid.
I agree with Nancy, just not her methods. The problem that Muslim women have is Muslim men. Simple solution, eliminate Muslim men. (unsure if I need a sarc tag or not)
The botox boob figures she can sell this to the dumbed down Democrat voters.
Hey, if they want to help put an Islamist government in power, let’s not fail them!
Nancy, as usual, has been sniffing glue.
We’re talking about Moslems here. Hell-oooo!
The only “table” they’ll be sitting at is the kitchen table - waiting for the men to finish eating so the women can scrounge for scraps.
I’m with FEMEN on this one.
The women of the Middle East are descending into an even darker age.
