Some basic women's rights are hidden between the veil or hijab of a traditional Islamic society.
Muslim feminist woman wearing the hijab protests against the oppression of women's rights, shouting: Unveil our rights! In some parts of the Islamic world there are abuses of women's rights: rapes against women, forced marriages, harassment, spousal abuse and rape, less employment opportunities, oppressed property rights and education rights...
On June 6th, 2009, President Barack Obama called for France to lift bans on the wearing of hijab in schools. In his Cairo speech, he talked about women's right to wear the hijab in Western Europe, with an emphasis on other women's rights, especially education.
