Summer Holidays'We're all going on a summer holiday, and if you want to go yo Sven' rapped hip hop heavyweight MC Miker G - and it's as true today as it was way back in 1986. Holidays are a time for us to relax, unwind...and disgrace ourselves and our nations. Tell us about your best and worst holiday experiences. Again.

Well, because it changes the meaning of the sentence, subtly.Without the "their" you're left with no distinction between any women at all.
In some countries, they may be happy to oppress the local women who have no defense, but might think twice about oppressing visiting western women backed up by money, power, education, and western governments.
A woman who has never left Wales cannot be really be oppressed by an Emirati in Dubai.

i only have a weak anecdotewherein my Australian friend got spat at in Malaysia for wearing a sleeveless t-shirt.
she was 10.
but I fail to see why that should stop us from making wild accusations and throwing around international slurs.
