Focus Multiculturalism in Europe Europe faces the tough challenge

Focus Women, feminism and Islam The position of Muslim women is a
complex and varies greatly from country to country, from group to group and
even from person to person. Many of the issues facing Muslim women
are familiar to women everywhere – the difference is often a question of
degree. What is clear is that debate, dialogue and reform are sorely needed
if Muslim women are to attain the equality they deserve. |
