The Taliban, the Fundamental Evangelist, and Islamic conservatives are all religious groups that suppress women's education and cover them up. These religions have very different ways of doing things, but they all suppress women. So what's the difference between these groups, and why do they do it? Let's take a look. And we'll go over some examples. But first, let's look at Islam and the Fundamentalists.
Taliban
Since the Taliban took over the country, concerns have increased about how to educate girls. They have also raised concerns about the uniforms used in schools. Many conservative Taliban members have expressed concern that the uniforms would be too revealing for older girls. But several women educators have said that this is simply not true. Education activist Pashtana Durrani, founder of the group Learn Afghanistan, argues that the Taliban's internal divisions about education are a source of their concerns.
The Taliban have also been perverting the justice system. For example, if a woman is caught with a man who is not related to her, she may be sentenced to death by stoning. They also practice summary trials, public amputations, and public executions. These practices have harmed women's quality of life and are responsible for the rise in mental illness among Afghan women.
Fundamental Evangelist
Wheaton College was the first major Christian institution in the United States to admit women. This institution was known for pioneering work in apologetics, allowing women to enroll in classes. Its founder, A.J. Gordon, was an ardent supporter of women's equality. His book, The Ministry of Women, was published in 1894. This book is a historical document that documents the role of women in Christianity, especially in the church.
While most evangelical movements are overwhelmingly male, women have been involved in many aspects of the church's history. Women were once barred from public ministry because of their gender, but the church began recognizing the value of gender equality. In the early 20th century, women began training for public ministry at theologically conservative Bible colleges. Many of these colleges included women faculty who taught Bible and theology. In Chicago, the Moody Bible Institute was founded by Emma Dryer, an early Methodist woman who helped make women's ministry possible.
Orthodox Jews and Women's Rights
The current situation with Orthodox Jews and women's rights is far from perfect. Some Orthodox women have turned to the media to air their rage against abusive exes, silent bystanders, and rabbinical courts. But this isn't the only problem. Some Orthodox women are also being denied the right to remarry. But a new legal movement could be the answer. And one that could help women in the community get the support they need.
In Israel, women are generally not allowed to speak on radio stations owned by ultra-Orthodox men. And in the past, women were prohibited from singing or speaking on those radios. This has given rise to one of the most significant class-action lawsuits in Israeli history. In 2009, a radio station called Kolech, which means "Your Voice" in Hebrew, launched an all-female radio program, Kol Barama. This discrimination lawsuit went all the way to Israel's highest court.
Today, most Orthodox women are now the primary breadwinners. Many of them attend college or graduate school. Some have even branched out to new professions, such as technology, music, and politics. Recently, some Orthodox women have shown an interest in the arts, including acting and singing. But even among ultra-Orthodox women, gender issues are still a big issue. Despite these challenges, there are several promising developments.
Islamic conservative
Women can exercise some of their rights in the West because of the feminist movement. They can work, study, travel freely, and participate in the media. But in Muslim countries, restrictions on women are widespread. Saudi Arabia, for example, forbids women to drive or travel alone. In addition, Islam is blamed for female circumcision, but linking this tradition with feminism is absurd. This is another example of the lack of critical analysis of the tradition. Despite this, Islam has failed to liberate women and has remained a source of oppression.
Despite this, many Iranian women have gone on to complete higher education. The Iranian authorities tried to prevent women from attending university, but after an enormous backlash against women attending university, the authorities eventually allowed them to do so. Even in the Islamic Republic, there is an increasing number of women pursuing higher education. Currently, there are quotas set for women in universities. In addition, many women now work as doctors, lawyers, and businesspeople.
Burqa full cover up their body
These issues are not political but fundamentally religious. The Islamic religion, for example, promotes the separation of the sexes and the need to cover up a woman's body. Many Islamic fundamentalists believe that women should not have access to public education and should cover up their bodies. A fundamentalist Islamic group also advocates the return to the traditional dress code. But is this really a good idea?
Men control all parts of life.
Historically, religious societies have attempted to prevent women from gaining an education. In many cases, these practices have been endorsed by cultural norms and practices. Unfortunately, these practices are often hidden in the domestic sphere and remain unchallenged. Sometimes, women are forced to take up the male sex to avoid being considered unclean. Regardless of how well-intentioned these beliefs may be, they are a barrier to women's education.
In addition to this sex bias, many cultures still do not treat women with the same respect as men and don't allow girls to enjoy the same rights and freedoms as boys. This discrimination is widespread in all cultures but particularly prevalent in religious cultures. These societies typically look to their most revered traditions and ancient texts to justify their treatment of women. Unfortunately, these practices are based on a fundamentally flawed understanding of the human gender.
