The Weaker Part of Women on Either Sides

Recently, a battle of the feminist group in Ukraine did provoke many Muslim women in the counter for their protest to go naked. The women who respected the hijab as empowering attire for them quickly defended the battle. At the end, both parties kept debating on whether wearing a hijab was liberating or oppressive. The argument really had a meaning but the person to whom this question was asked was not correct.

In general, it can be said that the hijab is not liberating because it does not bare one’s breasts. The ability to choose one between these two options can be said to be liberating. It is also foolish to define oppression as how much covered or uncovered it is. The above piece of description does not give a clear picture of understanding about the discussion. This only takes the discussion to even more serious debate because a piece of cloth cannot decide the results of a debate.

It is known that the debate over the hijab creates frustration. There are some issues that are keeping both organizations in trouble. Both the Femen and the Muslim critics are worried over a point that has to be discussed for sure. The topic for discussion is Amina Taylor, one of the inspirations of the Femen group who got naked on the streets wanting to tell that her body is her own. This was written on her torso clearly visible to all when she was on the streets.

There have been several laws that have put a ban on the clothing. The miniskirt’s ban in Uganda, Niqab’s ban in France and the US wrapped legislation has made it clear that the body is not one’s own. There is a certain ban that is being put on clothing and has to be compulsorily followed in many countries. The issue takes several forms like secular, religious, liberal or a conservative law, but this makes it clear that they are about to declare a war on the women’s body.

This is what makes us overlook the fact in the argument of the hijab. There are many women who still face unequal status in the name of religion and God. These cannot be fixed by the famine critic’s rigid rallies and campaigns. The women who are facing such treatment need to be educated well and given all of their rights in the society. They need to be empowered in this way, and this empowerment should give them the strength to shake an entire institution. But when the hijab comes into the picture during a discussion, it is completely ignored. This must be avoided. There is no clear result of this discussion. This needs to be fixed. The ignorance has made this a sad version of the law for women. The effort, to tell women that their bodies are not their own, is always being ignored, because the banning laws became older and gained much strength in many countries. Hence, the results to defend such laws are nil.
