About this work "The Colonies Of The Invisibles - Shadows of Betrayal "
:

The Invisible Colonies - Women subject to silence and personality anonymity, dressed in a religious veil or hijab so as not to be seen or noticed, with access only to a basic education so that they can only read and write their name.

Always there to attend to every whim of men like silent virgins who drown the cries of despair in the tears of generations oppressed by a tyrannical interpretation of the Islamic faith.

In Islam, knowledge, its acquisition and application is a fundamental requirement for all Muslims (men and women), to enable them to believe, think and act in accordance with the principles of the religion.
Currently, traditional, conservative and patriarchal societies in most Muslim-majority countries tend to ignore women's education, their participation in the workforce and their rights and the apologetic approach to sharia is also inadequate.

Of course, Islamic law has probably had a positive impact on women for many centuries. As noted by Chaudhry (1998) in a review of inheritance principles in Islamic law, "1400 years ago, Islam elevated women to a spiritual and legal status equal to men." As early as the 7th century, sharia granted women a series of protections (including legal personality as well as property and inheritance rights) that did not exist in many other Western societies at that time.

But this does not mean that Islamic law respects human rights as they are understood and implemented in modern societies, for in many Muslim-majority countries women are still unable to exercise some of their fundamental rights.

Unfortunately in our day, references to sharia have been used to promote an ideology that is (often, but not always) opposed to the Western model of civilization.
However, sharia is also (mainly actually) a legal science with components of divine or prophetic origin (the Koran and the Sunnah) as well as elements of jurisprudence (fiqh) accumulated over the centuries.

The notion of an Islamic state is a relatively new construct developed in the mid-1950s.
In classical Islam, sharia, as applied to moral and religious conduct, was clearly distinct from that of siyasa as far as the administration of the state was concerned.
Conventionally speaking, Islam seeks to create a political order defined by Islam, specifically in the form of a state based on Sharia. While institutional Islamists strive to create a Sharia-based state through the existing political system, extremist Islamists try to create such a state by any means necessary, including acts of violence.

In extremist Islamic ideology, traditional gender roles are central, with women encouraged to remain in the private sphere, at home or in secondary, conventional women's roles in the family, support network and as educators of the next generation.
In this way, they greatly reduce the personal and professional aspirations of women, restricting their realization as a person with full rights.

In recent times, largely due to the pressure of anti-women laws being enacted under the guise of "Islamization" in some parts of the Muslim world, women with some degree of education and conscience are beginning to realize that religion is being used more as an instrument of oppression than a means of liberation.

Therefore, Muslim women's right to complete education may, in the future, be a factor in the transformation of Islamic society itself, in which the spiritual and legal status of women may finally be equal to that of men.
