The chapters described a pattern of discrimination against minorities in the region, including Saudi Arabia's treatment of its 2 million-strong Shiite population and Syria's repression of its Kurds.
In Lebanon, the report criticized the living conditions of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees, while asserting that the Yemeni government committed violations in its battle with Shiite rebels in the north.
The report reveals that little to no overall improvement for women and girls particularly, has been seen. There seems to be an effort by some nations to suppress or thwart human rights efforts that are directed towards women and girls. From working rights to so-called "honor killings", many serious problems are highlighted in this year's report.
