Chahinaz did a fabulous job of researching cultures and activists to help her own overcome silly dress codes and unfair oppression. All these cultures in which women live in duress and judgement seed from a perspective that God is in favor of dichotomous codes for males and females, although the men promoting these religous tenets cannot logically prove this is the word of the Lord. There is no way a creator would have women wear unnatural costumes blocking their faces from the very sun in the sky needed for skin health because it contraindicates what the creation needs. Did God create faces of women and tell them to cover them? Each religious code claims there’s is the word from God. There are thousands of sects of religion, everyone all thinking they are correct having many diverse viewpoints.

It is not incorrect to challenge what is from God versus what is NOT. What they fight her about is belief she is challenging some ordinances about treatment and dress of women as if she is dissenting against some order of the Lord, but it cannot be rationally proved that she is actually rebelling against customs of God. In both the Quran and the Bible, Adam and Eve were naked, and the Lord was angry that they were ashamed and covered themselves.
How did it go from the Garden of Eden to requirements to dress heavily? The story of Adam and Eve says the Snake started all the problems..hmmm!

Although i was not able to view this video i will still make a contribution based on some of the comments that ive seen.
The west has adopted and propogated a very negative perspective on the head covering of muslim women.  They, through many influences cause people to believe that a woman who covers her head is a woman that is being opressed, controlled and who has no rights.  Whereas, the promotion of women being naked or just about naked has been encouraged and where those women are looked upon as “Free” and independant women who have been supposedly empowered with the right to do what they want.  A woman who choses to cover her body is a free woman who choses to live her life that way.  If she did not want to then she could simply do as she pleases. 
In some muslim countries wear a head scarf is mandatory for all women to wear, this is definitely a form of control and perhaps even oppression, especially if its against the will of a woman.  This however, is totally contrary to religious belief because it is wrong to impose or mandate one’s own religious customs and beliefs onto another against their will.

Islam provides for the man more inheritance then the woman since the woman will share in her husband’s inheritance if she is married.  If she is not, her full care is provided by her father, depending on income, her life under her father’s care could be lavish or simple. The man on the other hand is the responsible party for his wife, children, his parents in their old age and shares in caring for the unmarried sister(s). The son however does not have the father to care for him if not married unless he is disabled or still in school though in most Muslim countries the families help each other unlike here in the states where everyone fends for themselves.

As with any society, people are people, some are happy/peaceful and comfortable in their marriages, their homes and in life overall.  Some are not, it doesn’t matter which society one inhibits. 

One important point, it is a human right, a child’s right to have an educated mother, not necessarily formally educated but certainly a mother who is caring, loving and so on in the home to receive her children upon arrival from school.  One who will feed them, help them with their school work and maintain the home.  A nanny can perform these duties but it’s not the same!

Unfortunately, in the evolved society of the USA since women’s rights have been won we’ve seen a decline in the the number of households with stay at home moms and more children (termed in the 1980’s as) “latchkey” kids.  Since the children are our future, it is important in any society to have a strong family framework to solidify our children’s foundation.  We’ve seen in the states the result of working parents and for that matter grandparents; it’s not always good in the long run since peoples desire to earn money for the “things” they can purchase can overrule the more basic tenets of the factors that make a society healthy.

For Chahinaz and others who call upon societies to implement equal rights because they want the right to choose their life style that’s all well and good as long as the culture maintains a place for women to be caretakers and caregivers of their homes if they so choose, that’s also a woman’s right.
