PANEL DISCUSSION HIJAB – Women at the Center

In many parts of the world, women are no more the suppressed gender. They have struggled and claimed equality in almost all spheres of society. But in many other parts of the world, where dominant patriarchal societies rule, taboos and social mores have been thrust upon them to make them invisible under a veil of silence. It is in these bastions of male dominance that we hear the rumble of change now - women rising up to protest, agitate to reclaim their voices, bodies and independence. But will misogynists, religious fundamentalists and bigoted governments allow them to break free?
