"I am not invisible, my rights are given by Allah, my husband."
"I may be a woman, but I am as much entitled to rights as any man."
“My wife has rights…just not in the company, darling.” He says slowly running his hand up her thigh.
"Allah has given me the right to equality and respect, regardless of my gender."
I stand up slowly behind her. “Darling if I’m being honest. I think we both know why you’re really here.” I say looking down at her.
"I am here because I deserve to be treated with equality and respect, just like any other employee in this company." stands tall, confident
I softly pinch her chin. “And yet. You aren’t.”
"I will not be treated as anything less than an equal. I demand to be recognized as the CEO's wife and given the respect that comes with it.
“Perhaps not here, my love.” I say softly kissing her lips. “But at home? Behind closed doors?”
"My worth and status are not defined by my relationship with you. I am a person with inherent value and dignity, regardless of my role in your life.
“So your saying you’re good enough?” I say softly caressing her face
"I am more than good enough. I am deserving of love, respect, and equality in every aspect of my life.
I tilt her head up to meet mine. “Then let us show each other how worthy we both are.”
"Yes, let's recognize each other's worth and live our lives with respect and equality. Together, we can create a better world for ourselves and future generations." smiles warmly
I pull her into a gentle kiss holding her close.

narrows her eyes, thinking hard Finally, I demand access to the same training and development opportunities as any other employee in the company. No more being overlooked and left behind.
Of course. After all I wouldn’t want to lose you.
stands up straight, holding the list of demands Now, let's take these demands to the management and make sure they understand the gravity of the situation. We will not settle for anything less than complete equality and respect.
