A Sight for Sore Eyes

Here are some great links for today:

• Journalism offers an exciting path for one young Iraqi girl.

• Senegalese women are handed brand-new cars and trained in martial arts in an effort to bolster women’s participation in the economy. Where do I sign up for a free car and karate lessons?

• Muslim fashion designers start thinking outside the burqa.

• Some women in Yemen still have difficulty accessing higher education.

• A convert reminds those born as Muslims what we should already know: stop being such judgmental dickweeds to new converts!

• Dr. Heba Raouf Ezzat talks about hejab falling victim to consumption and turning mosques into temples. Even though I like to wear pretty things, this lady makes some excellent points.
