Much of the sexism in the middle east starts in religion. Many women and men are now trying to get the traditionalists to reread the Quran and and put in the context of the modern world to try and redefine women. They are not having it though. The traditionalists (both men and women) are sticking to their beliefs about the state of women, that they are not equal to men and don't deserve the same rights.
Hopefully, many men and women can start to reread the Quran with a different set of eyes and influence younger generations of women to fight for their right to be equal.
