Why is it important?
This article gives voice to the opinions and thoughts of women from one Arab Gulf State (The Sultanate of Oman) on veiling practices and laws.
Perspectives
This article is important as veiling is often discussed with little reference to the thoughts of the individuals whose lives are most impacted by veiling practices and laws - women.
