  2. How is this social injustice? • Affects women and the people around them • Doesn‘t allow women the freedom of dressing the way that makes them feel comfortable • Can make women feel like they have no freedom and that they can only do what men feel is right or acceptable. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/aug/14/afghanistan-womens-rights-rape

  3. Expectations • Only the eyes, nose, mouth, and hands can show-but never the wrists • One hair out of place can start shouting from passerbyers • “Day after day, I am seeing more indicators that there is discrimination against women who chose not to wear hijab in Iraq.”-HanaaEdwar, General Secretary of a non-government organization • "The Hawza clerics in Iraq are refusing to allow women who are not dressed in extremely conservative clothing to enter mosques for worship.” http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1347545.html

  4. Silence is the Dress Code for Women • “Once a mullah walking toward me lifted his robe to avoid the mud, so I did the same, Wagging his finger, he yelled “It’s wrong to pull up your abaya!” -Taipei Times • “Muqtada al-Sadr, the rebel cleric, has just finished his Friday sermon and his militiamen are securing the area around his car. One notices a women, swathed in robe and head scarf. Everything but her face and hands are covered. Yet, she is told to go stand in a corner, because the guards have to be alert and her “presence confuses us.”” -Taipei Times http://04varvara.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/03e-women-in-the-world-iraq.jpg
