Gehrke-White says that more than 229,000 Muslim women refugees have settled in the United States in the last decade. In the book, she describes how they are eager to improve their lives and their children’s.
May I ask why you chose to post this. I mean, why were they denied the right to read and write in their own countries?
As u can read above, they were refugees, coming from either warn torn countris, or from familis that oppose some regime, or coming from extremly poor countirs...etc.
I cant really know wats happening in bangalidish, But i can say that girls in Arab countirs have the liberty to study watever they want major in watever speciality they want (excet Saudi, femals still have limited specilisations to choose from). The same bout India, my mother is a former teacher, my sister in law is a gynocologist, my cousin sis is a Computer Specilist, my best freind in India is a lawyer, my sister's mother-in-law is a School Principle, my sister's best frind in india is sudying engineering, my cousins daughter is a dentist, unfortunatly, most of my sister cousins r really young otherwise the list would be longer.
Go to Malaysia, n u will find that femal students in any university outnumber/equlize male students. They r given the same quality of education n the same loan education without any descrimination. The same goes for Pakistan.
The pro is not education, it is more with after education. U see there r nt many jobs available, not just for girls but also for guys.
Also, u need to understand the mentality of many women n the east, particulary in Muslim countirs, even if there hubby's or parents dont mind them working, they still prefer to stay home n take care of their kids, or they choose not to work coz of the unislamic working environment which they dislike.
Therefor, u end up finding not so many working women. But still, there r lots n lots of working Muslim women in Arab world, India, pakistan n in malaysis.
