Yes, a little louder for the American's in the room! Religious conservatism is spread the world over and is a danger to us all no matter what religion takes it up.
We cannot turn our backs on it. It cannot be contained to certain areas. It must be eradicated the world over. Women's rights are human rights. No ideology that seeks to degrade women or deny them rights, even if the women of that culture have internalized the lie of that ideology and seek to live it out, should be tolerated anywhere in the world.
The name of the religion matters little if at all. The ideology is the same. It is a man's fist gripping a woman such that she moves, breathes, even thinks at his will and whim. It makes women things to be possessed. Fuck that.
