Muslim Women Grievances

By saying this to her audience of men, she is directly going against almost all of the ways in which a woman was expected to act. In speaking up for herself and her marriage in front of such important men, she is throwing away the idea that women should be seen and not heard. She is also disappointing her

Of course, readers have to think about time periods where women voices were silenced. Still today when a woman shares an opionion an man might fight back because they believe they have no right to share

The First World War was a global war centred in Europe that lasted 4 years. More than 9 million soldiers and 7 million civilians died as a result of the war, a casualty rate aggravated by the technological and industrial sophistication of the nations at war. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history. Trenches and life within them have become a lasting topic since World War One. Throughout the war, millions of soldiers experienced and endured the horrors of trench warfare.

Women don’t speak up because they are not seen as credible nor trustworthy. As Rebecca Solnit said in her book, Men Explain Things to Me, “Credibility is a basic survival tool”

I know in some places of the world women are oppressed and mistreated, but it’s not like that everywhere. We see this mistreatment in “A Girl in the River” where Saba doesn’t get much of a say in her future, she has no rights and she is forced to do things she doesn’t want. Sadly we can see this mistreatment in the world today, mostly in women, but we can see it in men as well, but we see it more in women because men are those in “power”. We see that men have all the opportunities in the world, but once a woman steps out of line and wants a chance at that greatness, she’s mistreated. A woman doesn’t always have a

In recent years, America’s attention has been gripped by stories of women who have escaped from the Middle East. Each has a unique story, but they all have the same themes of oppression, abuse, and domination. Americans rushed onto the scene ready to “save” Middle Eastern women and many of the activists are now been highly praised for the influence they made in the region. Others, however, have come to question whether the Muslim women in the Middle East really needed the U.S. to rescue them from Islam. *Insert Thesis*

Women in this society are still unable to gain control over their own lives. They are trapped with the illusion that they should justify the abuse they are receiving from men. Women in this culture do not just face physical and sexual violence, but also psychological, economic and patrimonial violence that these women must overcome. However, in American society, women are much more able to at least point out the injustice they are faced with. Protests and campaigns all over the country are in action to show current administration how many women in America

unequally in marriage, in court, and in society. Difficulty through marriage for Muslim women can come from age, divorce, and having to be subservient to their husbands. Not only is there difficulty in marriage, but also in the unequal treatment in the islamic justice systems, such as when “evidence given by a female witness counts for half that given by a man” (Dargie 22). Although the societies of major Islamic countries differ, it is clear that women are not represented equally to men in any of them, for example having to dress and act certain ways so as not to attract any attention from men. However, there are Islamic women who are willing to change how their religion views females by speaking out and encouraging others to do the same.

The Nation of Islam empowered many blacks in a time and place where the concept of power was used to oppress. Christianity being a white man’s religion in the eyes of the oppressed, Islam was used in America as a tool for confirmation of beauty. The reminder of inner beauty for the people of color caused substantial growth and powerful movement that impacted American history for generations. The same principles that hoped to empower and give freedom towards African Americans is the same principles that continue to mask the beauty of the Muslim woman. How can two oppressed groups of people, blacks and woman, find two very different outcomes when practicing the Islam faith? Recognizing the differences between the Nation of Islam and the other sects of Islam faith, there is still a center focus on self identity and living into that mold. For some, that means taking back what has been taken away from them, freedom. For others, it continues to mean denying inner desires for something greater than following social norms.

Just as Martin Luther King, Jr. knew “through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed,” (King 227) in the fight to end segregation, the same goes for women’s rights. King learned through his time spent trying to achieve justice that if people do not actively try to carry out their goals, then nothing will be done. Women have always been seen as inferior to men in the society we live in. Unless women are able to break out of these roles they have been placed in, these deeply rooted problems will not be

Recently, there was a rally “#metoo” where women from all over stood up and talked about the sexual assault and harassment they have received over the years. Many women, and even men, came out to speak about and support the topic.The women in the article applied the theme of " female first" when Judd originally first spoke out about the situation with Harvey Weinstein. ("But instead of keeping quiet about the kind of encounter that could easily shame a woman into silence, she began spreading the word".) One example of a male figure who stood up was Terry Cruz saying "Why are you questioning the victims here?" It has been proven that over the years, people who are in a higher position have abused their powers to do all sorts of things to others.

Donald Trump. Harvey Weinstein. Kevin Spacey. We have been used. We have been violated. We have been objectified. Women have long been thought upon as less than. Women have had to go through so many obstacles in our lives that men will never have to experience. 34% of girls under the age of 12 get sexually abused. I know what that’s like. I’m 16 years old and I’ve been sexually assaulted twice. Times up on staying quiet.

Gender inequalities, which have become more and more dominant in societies, have affected women all across the world. In relation to Middle Eastern countries, there have been rules that women must oblige by constituted along with their religion. Whereas in the United States religion isn’t as dominant, but rather the thoughts and gender microaggressions when compared to male counter-parts are more significant. The misogyny in both regions consists of the deprivation of gender rights that are given by their government, such as the Women’s Suffrage movement in the U.S. Middle Eastern countries have a similarity in which the Quran acts as the law towards Muslim women. Even though there have been acts like the Equal Pay Act created in the U.S, the

Should marijuana be illegal or should be legal in the United States? I think that marijuana should be illegal. Marijuana is a plant that is illegal in some states of the United States because it makes you do things that you don't want to do like when you are drunk but for marijuana instead of saying drunk its high and when you're high it's the same thing as if you were drunk like you start acting weird, might not remember what happened the night before things like that. The main reason why I want marijuana to illegal is because there are people out there in the world that need lungs and if we make marijuana legal then all those lungs we could have used for the people that need lungs will be lost and the people that need lungs might die,

          The role of woman, her position and status in society, and her nature have been issues of debate and discussion informed by religion, tradition and culture, misogyny, feminism and - many times - downright ignorance and bigotry.
