University of Basra organizes a seminar on women's freedom from an Islamic perspective.
The Faculty of Education for Pure Sciences, in cooperation with the Continuing Education Center, organized a seminar on women's freedom from an Islamic perspective.
The seminar, moderated by Dr. Zainab Hamza Abbas, with the participation of a group of faculty members, addressed the concept of freedom in Islam and compared the absolute freedom advocated by the West with the committed freedom advocated by Islam. The seminar also compared the rights of women in the past and compared them to the present, and how Islam has preserved women as one of the pillars of society, and viewed them with a look of honor and pride, giving them many rights such as the right to own property, education, inheritance, work and disposal, and equating them with men in several fields, and more than that, giving them freedom after they were deprived of it over time. The symposium also dealt with responding to claims that Islam places restrictions on women. Finally, the students were given the opportunity to ask questions and try to answer them regarding women's freedom.
