The New Era

This is a new era of slavery for women under Islam. Women were saved by the birth of Islam after being �buried alive� fourteen hundred years ago. We are now experiencing same phenomenon again with a bit of a twist. Men, who claim to be Muslim leaders in our societies, still regard women as devils, sins and sex objects.

Under the guise of Islamic law, women are not allowed to receive formal education, gain employment or hold positions in government. Women also cannot file for divorce. In instances where divorce occurs, women have no right to custody of their children and in most cases, do not enjoy equal share of their marital property. Women are not entitled to alimony and as divorcees, are often stigmatized by their families.
