certain Islamic Fundamentalist nations currently have legislation that deprive women of social advancement-- for example, they don't allow women to leave the house without their husbands, drive, etc. also, education is not compulsory for girls in some nations. these laws (or lack of laws) have instilled the long-standing impression in some cultures that women are "inferior," thus making them more vulnerable to domestic violence, etc. in addition, they cannot participate political or get jobs; therefore, the nations' economic, social, and political development is stunted!

does the UN have the right to ask them to reevaluate their religious doctrines, keeping in mind the importance of women's rights? can the UN really infringe on their culture/religion like that, when human rights are at stake? help, you guys!
