In Islamic culture governed by conservative customs where the man is in charge and the rich have the most power, the rights of women for decades have gone on to lead. While the Qur'an itself says that everyone (men and women) are equal in the eyes of God, also mentions that the man has the right to caution or hit the woman because her disobedience.It is no secret that there are social differences between women and men within Islam, but I think it is still shocking to learn certain customs, such women can not go shopping without a man and and they must walk behind him and completely covered wearing her burka, to accuse a man of adultery should be testified by four man and witnesses who have seen it should be honest man.
Today we can realize in the news about mistreatment of women being accused of unfaithfulness or read news that surprised me was about 3 women who were murdered by their own relative with the motive of "they were disgracing the family" but in the video that they filmed in that moment, the women were playing and laughing out of the house during the rain.
As a woman in a country that, although there are still differences between men and women labor, to read news about this violence I feel blessed to live in Chile and the situation is not the same here, but it is sad to see how women in other cultures are not treated with respect or they don't give them the opportunity to emerge as they wanted, to be inserted either in male cultures or obliged to marry without their consent with the excuse is for the welfare of the family, which has brought other Problem ... that problem is the child marriage, where young girls aren't unaware about what the marriage is and the girls generally marry with men older than them, and the women are obliged to follow what a wife should do and what the man decides for them.
While Muslim women gradually been given a place in society there still remains that their rights are passed to carry.
It's so sad to see how women are treated in other countries, they are treated like slaves, they aren't living, just serving. I know that this is part of their culture as a country, but I totally disagree with the way that women are seen. We have to keep the hope that one day the things will change in that societies. Good post! and I see you on my blog!!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings !
I know that each culture has their own habits, but taking away a life of a little girl? In what kind of society are they growing, where they don`t even know what a responsability is. It is also really sad to see mothers suffering for what their little daughters are doing, but it is more sad when they agree with this commitment.
ReplyDeleteThe video has a strong message, that creates a lot of awareness, but unfortunately there is not much we can do to change this.
A very good post, interesting and informative, Congrats!
yeah!! I liked the message of the video because it involves achieving a change to the lives of those women who haven't had the same opportunities that we have had.
DeleteGenerally these traditions have this excuse: "it is part of their culture", But .. what are the limits of a culture?, can go on to lead the rights of a person, just because it is a tradition?. I think not, because the world is changing, the women becomes more and more respect, and not because it is something is a tradition must stop now. I really like your post, and we must change this mindset of submissive women, now!!.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your comment, because as individuals we make known our opinion obviously always with respect for other people. I think we should all have our rights and it is sad to think and see news like that.
