Challenges faced by Muslim women living in West
In the West, the common picture of a Muslim woman is the stereotype of a woman hidden behind a veil, a voiceless, silent figure, bereft of rights.
Although generally pitied as objects of oppression, visibly Muslim women also bear the brunt of anti-Islam sentiment.
As a result, Muslim women living in the West continue to face many challenges and struggles when it comes to practicing their faith in Western countries.
There is an assumption that Muslim women are oppressed and uneducated in many cases due to the hijab.
However, the reality couldn’t be more different. The world’s oldest university was founded by a Muslim woman in the 9th century, and today, Muslim women are working tirelessly to ensure women have access to education.
