Can you tell me how women in the Middle East are more dependent on male family members than in the West?
<|assistant|>
Women in the Middle East often rely more heavily on male family members for day-to-day activities due to traditionally gender-based roles, a lack of access to education and employment, and societal expectations. Furthermore, certain countries in the region have laws or social practices that prevent women from accessing certain resources or being able to fully participate in public life. As a result, women in the region have less autonomy than women in the West.
