Souad is a real character of the scandalous and touching book «Burnt Alive» which got a huge popularity around the Europe during couple days after being published. The young woman wasn't scared to show to the world the real picture of Palestine society, their attitude to the women. Nowadays, it's very easy to share life events with media-social network such as Facebook, twitter, TV shows and etc. One of the bright examples is Souad, even though she was illiterate and could speak only Arabic language; she told to the whole world about tough and risky life of females in Palestine. Burnt Alive is upsetting story, but it is also a call of attention.
Souad is a young girl, who has no rights and respect at home because of her gender. She thinks that if she gets marry her status will change. That's true; it might change in other countries such as Europe or the United States, but not in Palestine. So, this seventeen years old girl was finally deceived with her neighbor who promised to marry her. He forced her to get into sexual relationship, and she had to get into this relationship. She thought that this relationship could rescue her from family who was trying to rid of her. Souad was lucky because she and her baby survived after being burnt by her family members. Also, after rehab and couple years she married and gave birth of twins and her life totally changed. Even she published book about her life with a title «Burnt Alive».
If American or any European woman rights compared to Palestine's, there would be exact opposite of rights. Unfortunately, Palestinian women have neither rights, nor respect, but it doesn't mean that people should close their eyes and do whatever they want. The book «Burnt Alive» teaches us to appraise our each day, our parents, and our society. Also, author advise us to be polite, not hard-hearted; and help to our society to open new organizations, which help people with this kind of problems. Justice must prevail, and media directs to it!
