| Summary: | The status of Muslim women is a sensitive issue which
has always provoked a lot of controversy.
A commonly notion among, feminists, scholar-activists
and academics, western and non-western is the claim
that Muslim women in most of the Muslim world are
oppressed and systematically suffer from discriminatory
patriarchal gender system and male domination culture.
Contrary to that claim, conservative Muslim activists and
religious scholars deny any sort of mal-treatment and
oppression that Muslim women received. Interestingly,
most of the literature related to this issue lacks female
representation. |
