This is an article on the situation of women in the Middle East. It was first published on open democracy blog for international day against violence against women. Laws based on religious obscurantism and superstitions are applied even to people who do not follow the official state religion. In southern Iraq, Islamist gangsters have been forcing all women to cover themselves and wear the veil - including Christian women. In Iran, women continue to be stoned to death according to Islamic Sharia Law; so far hundreds of them have been brutally stoned to death or executed publicly. |
