Abstract
This review considers Lila Abu-Lughod’s Do Muslim Women Need Saving? and reflects on the book’s key implications for human rights practitioners. Through discussions of topical concerns such as veiling, honour crimes and forced marriages, the book critiques the global project of ‘saving’ the Muslim woman in the name of human rights and gender equality. The author reviews the book from the perspective of a human rights educator and a veiled Muslim woman living in the liberal West.
