The Tuareg culture is one of those ancient cultures which does not treat women as property. It seem to be the contrary instead
Tuareg people - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuareg_people)
The Tuareg live mostly in the Sahara desert.

Despite islam the women are pretty independent from men inside marriage.
For example in this culture women are allowed to have multiple sexual partners outside of marriage, keep all their property on divorce and they also don't wear the veil so to cover their faces as some muslim women do.
Instead there are men required to cover their faces as you can see from the picture below.
