This article argues that dynamics of localising human rights, while internationalising Islam are being played out in the realm of gender politics in the Middle East. Donor interest in supporting reform initiatives directed at ‘the Muslim world’, with a focus on their ‘religious identity’, has greatly influenced the kind of signals being mediated to local organisations. Against this global trend, local human rights organisations are responding by incorporating religious clergymen in their initiatives as partners and stakeholders. This alliance between human rights actors and clergymen is leading to a re‐invention of the mode of engagement with cultural issues, as the clergy play the role of mediators between the realm of the human rights and the religious. This article suggests that an Islamisation of human rights discourse and forms of engagement is occurring, but only in relation to women's rights issues, an arena conventionally mediated through religious law.
Purpose: The current study was conducted to obtain information about how a sample of Egyptian women and their husbands look at their own breasts, other women's breasts, and the sexual function of breast during intercourse. Method: Self-report questionnaire, designed by the investigators. It included 303 married women with an age range of 18-48 years. Aim: It aimed to obtain information about demography, characters of participants own breast as well as other women's breasts and also the views of their husbands. Results: The most common shape was "Full on top breast" with reddish brown areolas. The commonest bra size was medium. Most participants thought that large breasts are uncomfortable and only (11.55%) of them would like to have a breast augmentation surgery. "Full on top & bottom" breast shape was the preferred shape. Most participants said that breast size does affect female attractiveness. A majority of responders said that their husbands were satisfied with the size and shape of their breasts. Participants would like their husbands to stimulate their breasts during coitus orally and manually. The ability to reach orgasm by breast stimulation only during coitus was reported by (15.51%) of participants. Conclusion:The significance of female breasts as a sexual organ must be emphasized especially to the male partner. Some women can reach orgasm by the mere stimulation of their breasts. The study outlined the importance of oral and manual stimulation of breast during foreplay.
