I defend parents' rights to raise children according to their beliefs but not when those beliefs are tantamount to abuse. Isolating girls from associating freely with the other sex is not only unhealthy for social development, its an abuse of human rights. Amnesty International and the UN with their women's action programs have been riling against this for years.
