A lot of people don’t see that catholic religion is almost as misogynist as Islam.In past when christians followed the bible uncondicionally women had no rights and they were not persons but things.Today hate towards women that comes from chatolic church is more subtle but still present.They are promoting patriarchic societiy and nicley telling us that women are just baby making machines.It’s even worse in the bible.God itself is defined as a male while the woman is the source of all evil.i’m not trying to insult anybodys religion but the girl in the movie has a point when she says that it’s not only hers religion that discriminates.And chatolics consider them self all high and mighty when it comes to comparing.Some muslim women cover their face willingly because that is the symbol of their faith for them like the crucifix is a symbol of faith to christians

Very well done documentary- would have liked to see maybe a few other girls opinions done in depth, but maybe indigant Algerian young women such as Chahinaz are harder to come by and don’t come forth with all that they are thinking like us Americans.  You can’t find hardly an American girl or boy for that matter, who isn’t blogging, myspace/facebook/twittering..sometimes about religion but usually about nothing important to anyone but ourselves Maybe if all Algerians had an online network, it would start the change in society mentality she is talking about , because I agree that WOULD need to change before she can fully be independent and not restrained by others narrow mindedness about gender equality.  All the women I seen are very well-spoken and seem very intelligent and I see no reason why they should not be granted every freedom! Best of luck to you Chahinaz- hope you are well since this has filmed .

It’s unfortunate most people don’t question things in society but just go along with traditions. Saying things like, it is written, it is God’s law, women and men have separate roles and stating that is just plain silly. What if women ran the world and you say God told men has to wear their underwear on their heads. Would their be a rebellion? Heck yea, we men don’t want to be told what to do! Women better stand up and not wait for men to slowly change their minds.

It’s amazing the UN charter can successfully fight for religious rights but fail in individual rights.
