- Description
- In the early months of 2010, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy told Parliament that the burqa is “not welcome” in France, citing this as a step to defend France against extremists. Employing Edward Said’s theoretical notion of “Orientalism” as means of discussing the “Other,” I argue for a more critical look at France’s role in limiting religious freedom and denying notions of female agency. More specifically, I urge a more diversified view of feminism and female identity outside of the Western paradigm. By viewing the veil as a rhetorically universal symbol of oppression, Western feminists and political figures are missing the opportunity to recognize the diversity of religious adherence and feminist agency that exist in a variety of forms, some of which are highlighted in this paper. While touting the ban’s role in promoting gender equality, Sarkozy employs “faux feminism”– a specious appropriation of feminist sentiment to rationalize Orientalist aims. In effect, this approach reifies Muslim women as victims in need of Western“ heroes” while promoting a unique form of sexist Islamophobia.'

- Description
- Author questions recent increasing femicides in Turkey through the examination of their reasons and dynamics. Therefore, author starts with analyzing current terms such as 'honor killing', 'töre killing' and 'crimes of passion'. Author claims that the recent description of the murder of women in Turkey as 'honor killings' is misleading. Turkey must employ finer distinctions among types of femicide so as to prevent murderers and the larger society from justifying such actions through claims of honor. This paper thus asserts that the analysis of femicide in Turkey, as a Muslim country, should go far beyond the context of honor killing and argues that such examination must consider new social and economic changes as well as the new status of women in modern Turkish society. Author raises a new argument by suggesting a new term, 'revolt killing', for conceptualizing femicide in Turkey in tandem with recent social change and the increasing status of women. Author argues that revolt killing is the concept of conflict between tradition and modernity, and it claims that recent increasing femicides in Turkey are closely related with the changing status of women towards modernity in contrast to the stability of men’s status in tradition.

- Description
- 'The eruption of Arab Spring toward the end of 2010 came as a surprise to some observers and policy circles. Arab women and children actively participated in revolutionary efforts to end tyranny in Syria, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Iraq, Tunisia, and elsewhere. However, their contributions faced the savage fury of state repression. The contributors to these issues examined the impact of Arab Spring revolutions on Arab women and children in particular in several Arab countries.'

- Description
- This paper deals with the discourse of the rights of Muslim women in the preindependence period with particular reference to the Shariat Act 1937 and the Muslim Marriage Dissolution Act 1939 and the socio-historical and political background in the enactment of these Acts. Author tried to put throughout this paper these two acts to be seen more of maintaining community identity and showing numerical strength for political gains than protecting the rights of Muslim women. To this end, author tried to capture various debates that took place among the legislators in the assembly, women’s organizations, social reformers, community leaders and so on with regard to application of Sharia. The paper is based on information collected from secondary sources, and analysis is more from a gender rights perspective with a historical and political background.

- Description
- 'This paper asks whether—and if so, how—Islamic groups such as Hamas that clearly define themselves outside a feminist framework can be studied in terms of women’s empowerment. The material discussed is based on fieldwork conducted with Hamas-affiliated female Islamists, as well as women’s rights activists in general, in the occupied Palestinian territories in 2007. Centrally, this work debates whether it is possible to think of women’s empowerment in non-feminist terms.'

- Description
- Authors want to contribute to the debate on whether countries with large Muslim populations, like for instance Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey, will embrace gender equality. The role of women in Islamic societies is still a highly charged political and cultural issue. Women’s issues are vital in the shaping of modern debates on democracy in predominantly Muslim countries. Examined were attitudes towards women’s equality by analyzing Muslims’ responses, looking at the effects of country, education, socio-economic status, age, income, religiosity and other variables. Some of the preliminary findings suggest that across the seven nations surveyed, broad majorities support gender equality but women are generally more likely to endorse equality than men.
