Women can vote, and hold public office. They have a governmental cabinet position that deal's with women's issues. There' plenty of oppurtunity for women in the workforce there, and around 40% of women are in the workforce. They sent female athletes to the Olympics.

Freedom of religion is greater than many of the surrounding nations too, the government allows churches of other faiths to operate.

LGBT issues are still there though.

Overall, the country has been progressing.
A pretty good example given the neighbourhood
