The theme that I chose to talk about is women's rights. Throughout her blog, Riverbend mentions women's rights and how women are not being treated fairly. Here are some examples of this.
"Females can no longer leave their homes alone. Each time I go out, E. and either a father, uncle, or cousin has to accompany me."(16)
"Others are making their daughters, wives, and sisters wear a hijab. Not to oppress them, but to protect them."(17)
"His eyes stayed glued to A.'s face as he told me that females weren't welcome right now-especially females who 'couldn't be protected'"(24)
"More and more females are being made to quit work or school or college."(68)
"What rape victim is going to go, in our current situation, file a complaint?... Besides that, women are to ashamed to make rape public, and why bother when you just know the person will never be caught-when no one is going to bother to look for the aggressor?"(68)
"I lived in jeans and cotton pants and comfortable shirts. Now, I don't dare leave the house in pants."(17)
"It's also depressing because of what it signifies-that no female is safe, no matter how high up she is..."(75)
