| Description |
Debate about multi-culturalism often focuses on how to draw the line between valuing people’s culture
of origin and encouraging migrants to be part of a new country in a meaningful
way. For Ayaan Hirsi Ali: ‘It is a matter of principle that women are free and equal’. For her, this means zero tolerance of cultural practices like honour violence, forced marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM) which have been brought to the West, and
her foundation works with women to stop them.
But having now gained their own rights and freedoms, what do Western feminists have to offer to the life and death problems of women from the developing world?
