Islam — The Power of Women (The Globalist)
One key cause for the inability of Islamic countries to compete economically is that from Morocco to Iran, women do not go to work. The most extreme case is of course Afghanistan. There, we see the tragedy of highly trained women — if they haven’t already fled the Taliban’s harsh regime — being forced to sit at home, even when the country desperately needs their skills.
Women doctors cannot heal sick patients, women engineers cannot design repairs on buildings or roads, and women managers cannot help bring order from the country’s chaos — all because of their gender.
