Many
impediments remain that affect women’s work-life balance: The Bangladeshi
culture expects women to cook, clean and look after their children, even if
they have full-time jobs. The discussion around women’s unpaid household work
were renewed by a speech made by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina that went viral
on social media nearly two years ago.....

Culturalists in
some Muslim societies cite the Islamic faith in defending “honour killings” of
women and marriage for child brides and right to choose her spouse by her
parents. Muslim women are marginalized not by the true tenets of their faith
but by patriarchal cultural practices.....
Kuchi Afghan
women face a number of challenges and deprivations. They are denied access to
education, married off as children, raped, and exchanged to settle disputes.
Yet policymakers and international donor agencies in Afghanistan have
inadequately addressed vulnerabilities faced by Kuchi girls and women....
When talking
about gender in Islam, the adequate term to use is equity not equality. This is
because equality is often understood to mean absolute equivalence in
everything. Equity in Islam is utilized to establish justice and equality in
all responsibilities and rights of both genders. It retains the possibility of
differences in some ways within the overall balance and equality....

In the last
week of March, news outlets and social media focused on egregious cases of
violence against women: A Christian woman was kidnapped, forcibly converted and
raped. A husband beat his wife and shaved her head when she refused to dance
for his friends. Another woman was beaten and kept in chains by her husband....
While the
unrelenting attacks on Omar are newsworthy unto themselves as a conservative
peculiarity, I believe that the attacks should be viewed through a wider and
longer lens. Omar is only the most recent minority woman onto whom
conservatives have trained their fire.....
But in their
paranoid frenzy to spread the blessings of Islam, these hotheads forget that
the Prophet of Islam had strictly forbidden forced conversion of people of
other faiths. In one of his earliest acts after migrating to Medina from his
native Mecca, the Prophet had issued a written guarantee to the
minorities—Christians and Jews alike...

Years of young
Iranian women’s unofficial revisions of the code have succeeded in wearing down
the government’s rigidity, but the official law remains unchanged and is
capriciously enforced. A random sweep can result in mass arrests on a single
day...
The question
here is not what a Muslim woman has the right to do but how she should present
herself to be acceptable to the French mainstream culture. According to all
those statements, above the law stand a number of superior values that are fed
by the fantasy of a white France, in which all the citizen with another
cultural background have to assimilate....
