domination of men leads to women’s loss in their rights and in some case, they even treated as an object of oppression. Even though women are sharing the same purpose to struggle for their rights, in its development women are

Islam is a religion of justice and equality. Islam sees both men and women as equal in their rights although they have
their different role and task according to their nature. Both men and women have an equal position below the God’s
will, which differs them by their attitude and behavior in their lives. There are many moslem feminist criticize the

modern times no longer pursue for democration rights, but more about woman emancipation in every aspect of life.
