This is on my page because it offers a different perspective to how clothing affects gender equality. It shows how the women in these societies don't see their restrictive clothing requirements as holding them back, but rather as empowering them. They instead feel that people can appreciate them for their brains and personality rather than body. People that could  benefit from reading this article are any Westerners that feel sorry for these women because of the way ther are required to dress. It gives the perspective of the women in these societies. This relates to Half the Sky because the book also has a section about how the women in these societies actually feel sorry for the women in our societies that have to change their bodies and clothing to please men, and how they are angry when people feel bad for them.

With the peace process just starting again, will this act derail it as it has done in the past?  The settlements in the occupied territority are considered illegal under international law, a claim that Israel denies.  Shoudl the US and the international community set in and stop the spread of the settlements oe even get them to be removed?  Or shoudl they remain in order to guarantee the security of Israel?  It seems that every time peace is talked about in this area, something happens that puts the peace process in danger.
