Many people tend to, wrongly, conflate Islam with misogyny and oppression, especially when a topic such as women in Islam or Muslim women comes up. These harmful stereotypes are predisposed to confusing Islam with outdated cultural practices from centuries ago. In fact, most of these people fail to recognize the fact that Islam has empowered women with exceedingly progressive, especially for their time, rights since the 7^th century¹. In Islam, women are not inferior, nor are they unequal to men.
