Women are oppressed in the east, in the west, in the south, in the north. Women are oppressed inside, outside home, a woman is oppressed in religion, she is oppressed outside religion.
More Quotes from Taslima Nasrin:
I came from a country where religious fundamentalists, including governmental authorities, denied my freedom to have thoughts that are different from their own. As a punishment, they demanded my execution by hanging. I was forced to leave my own country. I had to pay heavily for the sole reason that I believe in human rights and freedom of expression.Taslima Nasrin

Taslima Nasrin
I don't believe in God. The religion mongers segregate women from the human race, I too am divided, I too am defrauded of my human rights.
Taslima Nasrin

Taslima Nasrin
I write against the religion because if women want to live like human beings, they will have to live outside the religion and Islamic law.
