When Fifteen Girls Burned Because Their Headscarves Weren't Perfect
Fifteen schoolgirls died in a fire in Saudi Arabia in 2002. They didn't die because the flames were unstoppable or because the building had no exits. They died because religious police blocked their escape-the girls weren't wearing proper headscarves and abayas. Firefighters stood helpless as morality enforcers declared it "sinful" to let improperly dressed girls leave a burning building. Fifty-two more were injured. This wasn't an accident or a tragedy-it was murder by modesty culture, where a girl's headscarf matters more than her life. This incident crystallizes the brutal reality facing women across the Middle East and North Africa: your body isn't yours. It belongs to your family's honor, your community's traditions, your government's laws, and clerics' interpretations of scripture. Nearly a century after Egyptian feminist Huda Shaarawi removed her face veil at Cairo's train station to applause in 1923, women's bodies remain battlefields where tradition wages war against liberation. The Arab Spring toppled dictators, but the harder revolution-against the misogyny embedded in homes, streets, and institutions-continues to rage. Growing up means learning that your culture fundamentally despises you. This isn't hyperbole-it's daily reality.
