| English abstract | This paper argues that a skewed definition of freedom has resulted in uneven achievements toward gender equality and reinforces patriarchal social constructs that contribute to the persistent subjugation of women in the region. How women’s oppression is assessed and remedied depends upon how freedom is defined.
