One of the points on which Islam is criticism by both Muslims and non-Muslims is the treatment of women. Under Islam, women often must remain covered, are denied contact with non-related men, can be denied the ability to get jobs and education to the same extent as men, are treated as having less political or social worth than men, and are discriminated against in a variety of ways.
