The Malian government is looking to further the rights of women by expanding the Family Code . Surprisingly, this revision is facing a large opposition from both men and women who believe that these new laws negate a woman’s status in Islam. Filmmaker Rebecca Stewart does a good job of presenting diverse views on the topic. Can women and men be viewed as equals in Malian society? What do you think it would take to make this happen? Please watch and comment with your views on the topic.
