Yemen: What Does a Woman Want? · Global Voices
Haitham Sabbah

Omar don't have the answer for: What Does a Woman Want? But he tries to tell us what does a women in Mukalla; women in Hadhramout – want. He says that have certain priorities. They value their Burqas and take much pride in the Burqas; it is their most important attire. It is unimaginable, that any of them can leave their homes without being covered from head to toe, leaving only the eyes uncovered; in black. Only in black. Always in black. Even his wife, he never forced his wife to dress like that; she loves dressing like that, he said.
