World has wrong idea about Muslim woman: chief of Azerbaijan's state commitee

The world has the wrong idea about a Muslim woman. A Muslim woman is perceived as a woman devoid of rights, a woman-terrorist, Huseynova told reporters.

On Oct.14, Baku hosted an international conference on "Women in the Islamic world: traditional values and modernity." The agencies of Turkey, Qatar and Jordan dealing with women attended the event.

Huseynova said aim of the conference is to show the world the high role of Muslim women in society and dispel stereotypes.

"The Muslim countries have problems associated with early marriage of women and domestic violence. The Western countries also face same challenges. We will try to find solutions to these problems," Huseynova said.
