Women, the poor singled out by sharia bylaws !

Women and the poor are experiencing unfair treatment due to overzealous enforcement of sharia bylaws in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, Indonesia.

Women complain that they are disproportionately the targets of sharia police raids, with far more operations against them for not wearing headscarves, than against men for not attending Friday prayer.

One incident also happened when a sharia police personnel harassing a young woman who returned home after 9 p.m.

Aceh implemented Islamic Law since 2002.

Do you have the same experiences in your area ? Please let me know ...

Thanks
