Description
Women's Human Rights and the Muslim Question shows how Muslim women have made meaningful contributions to the development of the international framework on gender equality and women's rights. An investigation into the women's movement of Iran offers a practical grounding for this argument, and presents unprecedented findings on how ideological divisions along secular and religious lines have been worked in favour of a rights-based framework for change.
The book presents a comprehensive synthesis and analysis of the campaign material of the women's movement 'Change for Equality Campaign'-one of the most progressive and sophisticated movements in the Middle East/Central Asia.
