“I have always used the burqa because men are using the burqa in the name of culture and religion to take freedom from women. Women are alive, they have their own wishes and desires, but all the time they have to sacrifice that. They are a kind of skeleton, which doesn't have muscles. They're just breathing, like a kind of puppet that barely exists. If women spoke for their rights, they were beaten by their husbands. So they don't have a voice. They lose their voices and their wishes and their happiness.” IfsMenKindUsedDesireCultureNamesWishVoiceLosesAliveRightsSacrificeHusbandBreathingMusclesSpokesBeatenMen WomenPuppetsSkeletonsBurqaCulture And Religion Author:Malina Suliman
