    Perceptions of the veil among a group of Sudanese women: a qualitative study
    (University of the Western Cape, 2004) Wani, Catherine; Stander, Christell; Shefer, Tamara; Women and Gender Studies; Faculty of Arts
    The Islamic dress code has been forcibly imposed on the women in Sudan, since 1983, and many feminists researchers have criticized the practices of the veil as a tool to oppress women. This study aimed to explore a group of Sudanese women, currently living in South Africa, experiences and perceptions of the veil, whether the veil is a religious dress code or a tool that has been used to exercise inequality.
