How come women from other countries don't have womens rights?
Back when history started, men went out and hunted while the women stayed home to care for the children and prepare the meals. They had no time to stop and think about anything while the men had plenty of time during the long and hard hunt so they discovered and invented new things in their spare time. The men got all the glory for improving their civilizations. Because of this, the men concluded that women were not smart so they should not be burdened with all the rights that men have.
This continued all through history with women fighting for equality the whole way. The first women to vote in anything remotely important was Sacagawea who got to vote near the end of the Lewis and Clark expedition on where to settle for winter.

A + Answer Is All Of The Answers Are Correct
Why are there many differences between how Islamic Countries treat their female citizens?
Answer 1
It is not the case. Women are treated in Islam with kindness, equality, and assured all her human rights. While Women in Europe got their human rights just last century, Islam since the 7th century assured women rights in free choice, property, having her own business and properties, education, and other rights. Refer to question below.
Answer 2
It entirely depends on the country. In places like Morocco, while there are differences between expectations of what a woman should do and what a man should do, a woman has all of the rights that a man has. As concerns countries that are more conservative like Saudi Arabia, women have few rights that men have and are denied the ability to drive cars or show their faces in public (should they wish). The reason for this difference in treatment is that unlike Europe, the Islamic World never went through a Reformation or other Religious Traumas that would weaken the central faith and allow for individuals to seek rights from a non-religious state. Currently, in the midst of Arab Spring, many countries are becoming more conservative in the short term, but in the long term, freedom at the ballot may result in additional freedoms for the citizens.

So women typically earn 33% less or roughly 67 cents to every dollar a man makes. When we consider only those age 25 or older, however, the figures changes a bit. The median income for males rises to $39,000 and that for females to $26,500. The gender gaps remains roughly 32% with a woman making roughly 68 cents to every dollar a man makes.
