Part 3: Winds of Change and Chador

Islamic societies are generally known for their restrictions on women's rights and freedoms; for example, polygamy, honor killings and the enforcement of wearing the Hijab and Chador.

What do today's Islamic women think of these traditions? What is the image of Islamic women in this ever-changing world?
