-- "If we believe in universal human rights, one of the most significant is the right of equal access to public space. If a woman isn't allowed to venture outdoors unless she takes special precautions that don't apply to men – whether that consists of covering the hair or face or being forbidden to wear trousers – then she is being denied a fundamental human right"
-- "Lubna Hussein should be hailed around the world for challenging this sexist and capricious practice head-on"
