Description
This photo was taken for the Palestine Photo Marathon 2012.The theme was self-portrait.
In this photo I wanted to express the sexism in the Arab society. Women are labeled for being females only, their brains are discarded and ignored. Once they take a look at your physical appearance and realize you are a woman, they don't consider your personality and mind. This photo expresses how women are always labeled in a negative way and prevented from living a normal life.
I don't necessarily say that ALL Arab women are treated that way, however there is a percentage of women who are suppressed heavily.

that's why some women don't recognize their roles anymore , they just want to keep accepting living the same way ... it's really sad

I agree. Women should initiate the changing process. It must come from within.
