As a Canadian woman and proud feminist I am disturbed when I see women in the west wearing the badge of patriarchic oppression in form of a burka or hijab. 

It's fine for politicians to pretend to be 'progressive', but what I see is a betrayal of women with the importation of religious beliefs that are overtly anti-Woman and cultural practices that result in women's loss of life or health.

 I feel like women are being sacrificed on the altar of globalization and our daughters will suffer for it.
