The Burqa

The burqa, sometimes termed 'the walking cage', worn by Islamic women in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. The Syariah law is invoked to make it compulsory for women to dorn this attire, which has long been seen as a symbol of female oppression. I've always found it to be an interesting comparison with the bound feet of women in feudal China.

Qn: Women have it easier than men in today's world. Do you agree?
