There are 49 Muslim-majority countries in the world and Islam is the world's second largest religion. Yet many in the West are misinformed about Islam and Muslim worldviews. Issues related to gender norms are especially subject to misconceptions.
This filmography analyzes gender issues in 56 feature films from Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and Turkey, with a focus on religious, legal and patriarchal legitimization of practices such as female genital mutilation, child marriage, virginity testing, public sexual harassment and molestation, and honor killings.
Patricia R. Owen is a professor of psychology at St. Mary’s University, San Antonio, Texas, teaching courses in abnormal psychology, human sexuality, and cinema and psychopathology, and the author of several academic papers on cinematic portrayals of emotional disorders and gendered language in advertising.
