Will Egypt's New Freedom Force More Women Under a Veil of Brutality?

Phyllis Chesler   "According to Amina Afzali, a member of a new government commission,"there [are] cases where women needed protection but [she] was upset about the shelters' high profile in discussing abuse." Afzali found it "grating" that Time magazine featured child bride Bibi Aisha on its cover; her husband had hacked off her nose after she tried to run away from home. Such publicity "humiliates us in the eyes of the world.""
