Freedom and Safety of Women in Islamic Countries

The chapter explores the impact of women's clothing choices on their safety in public spaces in Islamic countries, discussing how strict control by Islamists leads to increased instances of sexual harassment. It also delves into the cultural shift and its effects on the behavior of men from Islamic societies when moving to Western countries, leading to a misunderstanding and objectification of women as sexual objects. The discussion highlights the dilemma faced by women in Muslim countries, where they are judged whether they cover up or walk freely uncovered, and how some accept wearing hijab as a means to prevent feeling doomed.
